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. 4 - How to react ---------------- If you are interested in this function, please mail your reaction with curriculum vitae to Sonja Bloemers, Human Resources Officer [log in to unmask] For more information about the job, please contact Chris Breemer, Teamleader HP3000 [log in to unmask] --- End of Message --- -- :) Chris Breemer [log in to unmask]
