Compuware Vantage Wins eWEEK Excellence Award for IT Quality Assurance

eWEEK, a leading IT enterprise news magazine, named Compuware Vantage the winner of the IT Quality Assurance Tools category during the sixth-annual Excellence Awards ceremony held in Boston on May 23. The eWEEK Excellence Awards recognise and honor products with high levels of innovation.

"New technology creates opportunities for vendors to react proficiently to the rapidly evolving demands placed on enterprise IT managers," said Eric Lundquist, eWEEK Editorial Director. "eWEEK is proud to offer our readers solid recommendations for new, innovative products that respond to these increasingly complex demands."

The eWEEK Excellence Awards program provides enterprise professionals with a comprehensive benchmark for assessing a wide range of technology products and services. Evaluating the entries is a panel of experts including eWEEK Labs analysts and eWEEK Corporate Partners. The eWEEK judges formulate the categories based on their own criteria and do not allow vendors to select the categories for which their products are entered.

"Compuware is honored that the eWEEK judges recognise the value that Vantage brings to real-world enterprise environments," said Larry Angeli, Vice President of Marketing, Compuware. "This award aligns with Compuware Vantage's long history of innovation. Compuware Vantage continues to help organizations derive higher ROI from business-critical applications by enabling IT to deliver excellent application service and quality."
