Compuware Changepoint Supports a Healthy Future in Project Planning for St John New Zealand
Integrated View of Projects, Investments, Resources and Applications Improves Business Planning and Decision Making
Auckland, 4 October 2012 - Compuware <http://www.compuware.com/> Corporation (Nasdaq: CPWR), the technology performance company, today announced that St John New Zealand has
deployed Compuware Changepoint, the company’s industry-leading Project Portfolio Management (PPM) solution. St John is a
charitable organisation serving communities throughout New Zealand by delivering an extensive range of essential
health-related services and products. Changepoint’s PPM solution provides an integrated view into projects, investments,
resources and applications for informed business planning and decision making.
“St John chose Changepoint following a review of several industry solutions. Only Changepoint was able to provide the
scalability and robust reporting, along with the essential implementation services, required for joined up, enterprise
project planning,” said May Richards, PMO Manager, St John New Zealand. “We reviewed six different solutions and
referenced Gartner Quadrant research concluding that Changepoint is a very mature and powerful offering. We liked the
fact that Changepoint is available as a Software-as-a Service (Saas) solution as we are very comfortable with
cloud-based technologies.”
“Helping St John achieve its objectives is very important to us,” said Lori Ellsworth, Senior Vice President and General
Manager of Compuware’s Changepoint business unit. “Changepoint enables St John New Zealand to manage priorities, measure
project benefits and prioritise data to improve the organization’s decision making process.”
“Changepoint will provide our organisation with intelligent, actionable information that drives consistent, timely care
and sound business decisions. We’ll be able to put plans into place much faster, have peace of mind and proactively
manage our staffing requirements,” said Richards. “During the Christchurch earthquakes, we had to immediately reallocate
skilled staff engaged on projects to rapidly establish crisis teams. Using Changepoint, we’ll now be able to proactively
evaluate the impact on our projects organisation wide and assess different resourcing scenarios quickly.”
