Santa Clara, Calif., June 13, 2005 - IntelliCorp, a worldwide provider of software tools for SAP lifecycle management and system support, today announced that on Thursday June 16, from Noon ET to 1:00 p.m. ET, it will host a free webinar with Compuware Corporation (NASDAQ: CPWR), an IntelliCorp Global Partner, on best practices to reduce the costs and risks of managing SAP lifecycle events. Leveraging automated analysis technology to improve testing and training of all lifecycle events, especially upgrades and support pack installations, will be featured. Click here to register.

Leading the webinar will be ERP industry veteran Steve Bergstrom, director of customer support services for IntelliCorp, and Dave Kapelanski, SAP sales director for Compuware. Hussam Otaibi, VP and ERP research director for Ventana Research, will provide insight into the SAP market, as well as the importance of the IntelliCorp/Compuware partnership that is helping customers maximize ERP value. Stuart Abbott of Axon Global will also join to share experiences with automated assessment tools for SAP business modeling and testing, to increase productivity and reduce risk.

"Companies are reluctant to make changes to their SAP system after investing heavily in the time, cost and resources it takes to create a functional SAP environment," said Bergstrom. "Understanding what's inside an SAP system reduces the risk of testing and training, while ensuring the stable environment you worked hard to create is maintained."

Webinar participations will learn how an automated impact analysis helps plan for lifecycle events, and be led through the creation of a repeatable plan for handling major SAP activities, such as upgrades, consolidations, installations and support packs. In addition, they'll understand how to gain better insight into their SAP system to speed the move to NetWeaver, Solution Manager and other applications, as well as integrate with them across the ERP spectrum. Customer case studies will be used to demonstrate the value of automated tools during testing and training, as well as the importance of Quality Assurance. Improving quality and security through Business Process Testing will also be addressed.

"SAP is a critical investment for your business and companies can only benefit from tools that provide greater insight into an ERP system," said Otaibi. "Our research indicates that an accurate assessment to what needs to be tested and the impact on training should reduce time and resources, and would help leveraging and extending the investment these organizations have made in SAP."

The webinar, "Optimize SAP Performance with Lifecycle Solutions from IntelliCorp and Compuware," is free and will be held Thursday June 16, from Noon ET to 1:00 p.m. ET. Click here to register.
