According to Forrester: “The ultimate judge of IT and business alignment is the end user…monitoring end-user performance is the only way IT knows that it is meeting business expectations.” Forrester described Adlex, acquired by Compuware, as an “innovator” in the Forrester Wave. The report, titled “The Forrester WaveTM:
Appliance-based End User Experience Monitoring, Q2 2007” is available at http://www.compuware.com/..., and the related report titled “Compuware Provides The Most Versatile End User Experience Monitoring Solution” is available at http://www.compuware.com/....
