Compuware has appointed of senior industry executive to drive its business strategies across the Australian, New Zealand and Japanese markets with the objective of growing its “leadership position” in each market.


The company today announced the appointment of Steve Jobson, who has relocated from the UK to Sydney, to the position of vice president responsible for Australia, New Zealand and Japan, and with the key responsibility to execute the company’s business service delivery strategy across the region and to “help customers optimise both the performance of their business applications and aligning their IT investments with their business.”

Jobson, a qualified biochemist, has worked for 20 years with Compuware, including three years as vice president Asia-Pacific and five years as vice president, Compuware UK and Ireland, responsible for Northern EMEA, leading operations in the UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and South Africa.
 
According to Jobson, “organisations have two major IT challenges - ensuring that the performance of applications meets the expectations of their customers and the business, and making sure their IT investments are “ruthlessly directed to where they add most business value.”

“Compuware’s core expertise is protecting our customers’ bottom line when it comes to IT,” says Jobson, adding that “competition across the board has never been more intense. At the same time, money is hard to come by, particularly for IT. It really is about doing more with less in a very tough environment.”

“Organisations have two major IT challenges,” said Jobson. “The first is ensuring that the performance of applications meets the expectations of their customers and the business. The second is making sure their IT investments are ruthlessly directed to where they add most business value.”

Jobson also reckons that poorly performing applications make companies less responsive, less competitive and less productive, and he maintains that “new, disruptive technologies like Web Services, virtualisation and cloud computing only increase the difficulty of getting applications to deliver value back to the business.”
