History

Founding and Early Growth

Compuware Corporation was founded on March 23, 1973, in , by , Thomas Thewes, and Allen B. Cutting, who pooled $9,000 from their tax refunds to launch the venture. Initially operating as a consulting firm, the company specialized in optimization, providing programming and setup services to help businesses implement and manage early computing systems amid the growing adoption of mainframes in the 1970s. This focus on technical services addressed the needs of enterprises transitioning to computerized , establishing Compuware's early niche in the burgeoning IT sector. In 1977, Compuware shifted toward a software licensing model with the release of its first product, Abend-AID, a diagnostic for identifying and resolving faults in mainframe applications. This transition from pure consulting to product development fueled initial expansion, as the company began licensing tools that improved mainframe efficiency and reliability. By 1978, Compuware opened its first remote office to serve clients in the Washington, D.C., and areas, marking its geographic growth beyond . Additional products followed, including Xpediter/TSO in 1979 for interactive and File-AID in 1983 for and application development, solidifying its reputation as a key provider of mainframe software solutions. The late and saw rapid revenue expansion as Compuware capitalized on the mainframe boom, growing from modest consulting fees to over $100 million in annual revenue by the end of the decade. This growth reflected a compound annual rate of approximately 34% between 1982 and 1987, driven by increasing demand for its specialized tools among large corporations. By 1987, the company employed 746 people and relocated its headquarters to , while acquiring its first European subsidiaries to support international clients. Compuware reached a milestone of around 1,000 employees by 1989, underscoring its evolution into a prominent software firm focused on mainframe optimization.

Expansion and Challenges

During the , Compuware experienced significant growth, with annual revenues surpassing $2 billion by fiscal year 2000, largely fueled by demand for its mainframe testing tools, including Xpediter, which had been launched in the late and evolved into a mature product line supporting interactive and for and other languages. This expansion was accompanied by international outreach, as the company established offices across following the 1994 acquisition of Uniface in the and extended operations to regions by the mid-1990s through subsidiaries like Compuware Asia Pacific Pty. Ltd. By the early , Compuware's global workforce had grown to over 15,000 employees, reflecting its scaling as one of the largest independent software vendors. The early 2000s brought operational challenges amid the dot-com bust, which curtailed IT spending and pressured software demand; Compuware responded by announcing 1,600 job cuts in , representing roughly 15% of its approximately 10,900 employees at the time, alongside office closures to streamline costs. In parallel, the company pivoted toward (APM) solutions, building on its 1999 entry into the market via the Programart acquisition and expanding offerings like Vantage to monitor distributed applications across hybrid environments. A key strategic move in this era was Compuware's acquisition of Covisint for $7 million, absorbing the B2B platform originally founded in 2000 as a by major automakers including , , and DaimlerChrysler to facilitate secure and exchanges. This integration allowed Compuware to diversify into cloud-based services and deepen ties with the automotive sector, though Covisint later operated as a separate unit focused on and secure data exchange.

Ownership Changes and BMC Integration

In 2012, activist investor Elliott Management launched a campaign against Compuware, criticizing its underperformance and proposing a $2.3 billion buyout offer at $11 per share to maximize shareholder value. This pressure intensified through 2013, prompting Compuware to replace several board members, reject Elliott's bid, and initiate a strategic review to explore a potential sale. The activism highlighted Compuware's stagnant growth and diversified portfolio, ultimately accelerating the company's transition from public ownership. In September 2014, private equity firm agreed to acquire Compuware for approximately $2.5 billion, or $10.92 per share in cash and Covisint stock, taking the company private and delisting it from the . As part of the deal, spun off Compuware's cloud services Covisint as a separate public entity in October 2014, allowing the focus to shift to Compuware's core mainframe software business. Covisint was later acquired by in July 2017 for about $103 million. Under 's ownership from late 2014 to 2020, Compuware streamlined operations by divesting non-core assets, such as its division, and emphasizing cost efficiencies in its mainframe portfolio to improve profitability. In March 2020, announced its acquisition of Compuware from for an undisclosed amount, with the deal closing in June 2020 to combine their mainframe capabilities and advance integration for enterprise IT environments. The integration positioned the combined entity as "BMC Compuware," enhancing BMC's offerings in mainframe application development, testing, and management while retaining Compuware's approximately 900 employees to preserve expertise. This move consolidated market share in mainframe software amid declining competition, as seen with Broadcom's earlier acquisition of . Following the acquisition, BMC rebranded Compuware's solutions under the BMC AMI portfolio by 2023, unifying mainframe tools for and . By 2025, integrations advanced with enhancements, notably in BMC AMI Assistant, which introduced generative -powered conversational troubleshooting to accelerate and reduce mean time to resolution in mainframe operations. These updates, including capabilities in BMC AMI Ops Insight launched in January 2025, earned BMC AMI Assistant the 2025 AI Breakthrough Award for Conversational Innovation, underscoring its impact on modernizing legacy systems.
