Compuware Acquires Adlex to Strengthen Application
Service Management Leadership
Compuware Corporation has announced that it has signed a definitive
agreement to acquire privately held Adlex of Marlborough, Mass. for approximately
$36 million in cash. Approximately 80 Adlex employees will join Compuware
as a result of this transaction.
Adlex has pioneered Service Delivery Management technology that enables
Internet Service Providers and enterprise customers to diagnose and then
manage the quality of service that business-critical applications deliver
to end-users. This technology complements the Compuware Vantage product
line by providing extremely high-capacity, agentless end-user experience
monitoring and deep insight into application performance.
"Compuware provides the industry's most comprehensive solution for
managing application service across all infrastructures and application
architectures. Adlex strengthens our ability to measure end-user experience
and solve performance problems, keeping us ahead of the competition,"
said Tommi White, Chief Operating Officer of Compuware Corporation. "This
acquisition supports Compuware's continuing commitment to providing immediate
value in an affordable and scalable manner for our customers."
By measuring the quality of experience for every end-user--whether customer,
subscriber or employee--Adlex helps the world's largest organisations
manage IT service delivery. Adlex solutions for enterprise customers and
service providers include hardware and software components that easily
and non-intrusively attach to a central point in the data centre. IT organisations
can use Adlex to gather the critical information they need to measure
application service levels and quickly diagnose performance problems for
extremely high-transaction web applications as well as enterprise applications.
Service providers also use Adlex applications to manage and enhance their
ability to provide Internet services.
An enterprise-class Application Service Management solution, Compuware
Vantage delivers support for applications running on distributed and mainframe
systems. With the addition of Adlex's technology, Vantage is now the only
solution that leverages agentless, desktop and active monitoring capabilities
to manage Web and non-Web applications alike. Vantage couples this front-end
measurement with deep diagnostic capabilities that analyse the impacts
of application design, network design and usage and server performance--for
all server tiers--on transaction performance. These integrated capabilities
make Vantage the ideal single-vendor service management solution for use
in all phases of the application life cycle.
"Compuware's global reach and presence in the application service
management market with its Vantage performance solution make it the ideal
partner to leverage the tremendous investment that we have made in performance
management insight for both enterprise and service provider customers,"
said Tad Witkowicz, Founder, CEO and President of Adlex. "We are
excited to join Compuware to better meet the needs of our customers."
