2 - The company
---------------
Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ:CPWR) is a leading worldwide provider of
software solutions across the entire application lifecycle, including
application development, implementation, maintenance and systems
management. Compuware's Client/Server Systems Group develops, markets and
supports the UNIFACE model-driven application development environment and
the EcoTOOLS and EcoCHARGEBACK systems management products. Founded in
1973 and based in Farmington Hills, Mich., Compuware has 3,900 employees in
38 countries dedicated to client/server systems, enterprise systems and
professional services. For the 1994 fiscal year, Compuware reported $394
million in revenues, making it one of the 20 largest independent software
companies in the world. Compuware distributes the UNIFACE and EcoSystems
products through direct sales, distributors, OEMs, value-added resellers
(VARs) and/or joint-marketing arrangements.
Uniface Technology B.V. in Amsterdam implements the client-server
division of Compuware. It is one of the world's fastest growing software
companies and is based in a strategic location in Amsterdam south-east.
"We believe (Compuware's) UNIFACE will deliver on its ambitious
technology promises, and become a strategic vendor of application
development tools," states the META Group report of August 3, 1994. "Since
today's development environment is inherently multivendor,
Compuware/Uniface offers IT the ability to reduce the proliferation of
competing/cooperating vendors."
3 - The product
---------------
UNIFACE Six is a second generation client-server development environment
specifically designed for building enterprise-scale business applications.
Incorporating a component-based architecture, the UNIFACE Six development
environment consists of five integrated workbenches that share information
from an application objects repository. These components include the
Application Objects Repository, Application Model Manager, Rapid
Application Builder, Deployment Manager, Developer Services and Personal
Series.
Second generation tools like UNIFACE Six now use a balanced client/server
approach or distributed function model. UNIFACE Six provides the ability
to assign application processing evenly between the client and the server
to optimize speed and performance and overcome the inefficiencies of first
generation tools. UNIFACE Six runs on VMS, UNIX, MPE/iX, DOS, Windows, OS/2,
Mackintosh and Windows/NT.
META Group thinks that, with the introduction of the UNIFACE Six
development environment, Compuware will compete aggressively in the second
generation tools market, and that the product has already met two of the
three criteria the group lists for building enterprise-scale applications:
o Application logic distribution between the client and the server
(Distributed Function Model);
o Three-tier architecture with support for multiple server in each tier
and seamless access to legacy data;
o Distributed systems management -- providing mainframe-like security an
advanced trouble-shooting and team development.
