Compuware Acquires dynaTrace software

Compuware Corporation has acquired privately held dynaTrace software. The $256 million cash acquisition closed on July 1, 2011.

“Organizations today depend on the rapid development and delivery of high-performing applications to drive revenues, customer satisfaction and brand,” says Compuware Chief Executive Officer Bob Paul. “To meet these demands effectively, IT organizations must have visibility into the performance of every transaction, from development, through test and in production. Together, Compuware and dynaTrace APM solutions allow IT to meet business demands for performance and agility through unbeatable insight into the user experience – whether in cloud, complex or traditional environments.”

Headquartered in suburban Boston, dynaTrace employs 180 people around the world. Substantially all of these employees, including the leadership team, are expected to remain with Compuware. dynaTrace has a 92-percent win rate and a five-year CAGR of 125 percent because its unique PurePath technology solves the multi-billion dollar problem of optimizing application performance in a different and better way.
