Compuware Acquires Standardware’s COPE IMS Virtualization Technology to Broaden Essential Agile DevOps Enablement of the Mainframe

IMS remains a highly efficient foundational transaction management and database technology for systems of record at large global enterprises. Conventional development and testing of IMS systems can be slow, expensive and technically daunting — impeding the ability of large enterprise to nimbly execute updates as required to meet ever-changing business needs. Compuware has acquired the assets of Standardware, Inc., including COPE IMS virtualization software, further broadening its industry-leading portfolio of solutions that speed application delivery and reduce reliance on mainframe specialists.
