"The challenges and complexities facing software developers have never been higher. The innovations we have seen across mobile, cloud, big data, web and enterprise applications as well as the accelerated adoption of DevOps are all occurring against the backdrop of increased user demands for performance," said David Rubinstein, editor-in-chief of BZ Media's SD Times . "Thanks to companies like Compuware APM, software developers are armed with the insight and solutions they need to tackle these challenges and help their organizations succeed in the marketplace."
Compuware's leadership in mobile APM dates back to 2008 when the company delivered the industry's first mobile APM offering. Compuware APM delivers a new-generation approach to mobile APM, covering native, web and hybrid deployments and addressing the entire application development lifecycle. The result is an efficient, effective collaboration between development, QA and production – so everyone is empowered to achieve mobile performance goals more efficiently than ever.
According to ComScore four out of five consumers now shop or complete transactions on smartphones, so a buggy mobile app is every bit as detrimental to brand equity and customer loyalty as a slow website on a desktop. In fact, Compuware found customers expect at least similar if not better performance from mobile apps than desktop sites. The result is that mobile APM is moving from a "nice to have" to a business imperative.
"We are honored be recognized by SD Times yet again for our industry leadership and innovation," said John Van Siclen, General Manager of Compuware's APM business unit. "While we are pleased with our achievements, the pressures, demands and challenges facing software developers will only increase. We are committed to helping them by continuously raising the bar for application performance management to not only make their jobs easier, but also to drive business success across their organizations."
