Compuware Announces Uniface JTi at CU2004 Conference

Organizations Gain Simplified Management, Investment Protection and Enhanced Security and Performance for Web-enabled Uniface Applications

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, Dec. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Today at the CU2004 Worldwide Uniface User Conference, Compuware (NASDAQ:CPWR) Corporation demonstrated the new capabilities of Uniface JTi, version 3.0. Featuring the JTi technology of Compuware partner GraphOn Corporation, Uniface JTi helps eliminate the costs of re-writing and even re-architecting existing applications for the web.

Uniface JTi provides instant access to applications from any device or platform while also retaining 100 percent of features, function and branding. No code changes are required, and complete functionality is accessible via all major platforms, including Windows, Unix and Macintosh. Uniface is part of Compuware's portfolio of market-leading development solutions for building, renewing and integrating the largest and most complex enterprise applications -- helping IT organizations reduce the cost of ownership for business-critical applications and increase ROI.

"Uniface JTi provides the convenience of thin-client, browser deployment with the rich functionality of a client server interface," said Adrian Gosbell, Uniface Product Manager for Compuware. "Zero admin deployment removes the inconvenience of application deployment and costly updates on end- users' personal computers."

Uniface JTi delivers significant ROI and productivity benefits, including:

* Investment protection -- Uniface JTi provides instant access to applications with no code changes and no need to learn a new interface.

* Enhanced security -- Since Uniface JTi's unique architecture keeps applications behind corporate firewalls, only the user interface is provided remotely. Additionally, JTi transmissions are fully encrypted, further ensuring security.

* Simplified management -- ROI benefits are strengthened through a simplified management approach that keeps the product's look and feel the same, requiring no additional training for Uniface customers.

* Thin-client enablement -- Uniface JTi is invisible to users, which means that Uniface applications are accessible and deployable through a web browser, without touching lines of code. Organizations can allow access to both local and remote users while significantly lowering the total cost of ownership by publishing applications centrally and leveraging existing infrastructures.

* Performance benefits -- Uniface JTi allows applications designed for "high-bandwidth" connectivity to be used by remote users with both network and dial-up connections. Since the downloading of applications is not required, long start-up times are eliminated and productivity rises.

"We're pleased to be part of the Uniface product offering," said Bob Peterson, GraphOn's Chief Operating Officer. "With the new features included in JTi version 3.0, Compuware is well positioned for continued penetration in the enterprise market."
