June 18, 2009 (FinancialWire) — Compuware Corp. (NASDAQ: CPWR) announced that its Covisint subsidiary has signed a contract with Daimler AG (NYSE: DAI) extending Covisint’s work for the Stuttgart-based auto manufacturer through a comprehensive portal and identity management solution that securely connects Daimler with its vast network of suppliers globally.

Large manufacturing companies with global supply chain requirements face several technology and flexibility challenges in providing suppliers with access to critical business information and applications. Security also is key since, without it, technology — no matter how advanced — is rendered useless.

Covisint provides Daimler and its suppliers with an industry standard connectivity and security solution — including single-sign-on in a cloud computing, SaaS model — enabling seamless and secure collaboration for critical business information.

Covisint’s on-demand collaboration platform and cloud computing approach helps virtual communities securely access, use and share time sensitive information. Covisint solves business problems by streamlining and automating processes globally — connecting state and nationally based communities, organizations and systems in the healthcare, automotive and financial services industries, as well as the public sector.
