   Covisint ExchangeLink for Healthcare Offers Proven, Scalable,
       Platform-as-a-Service for Entire Healthcare System to
               Securely Communicate and Collaborate

ATLANTA, March 1, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- HIMSS10 Conference (booth
No. 4608) -- Covisint, a Compuware (Nasdaq:CPWR) company, today
announced the launching of Covisint ExchangeLink(TM) for Healthcare.
The Covisint solution is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) ecosystem
providing a one-stop choice for healthcare organizations and caregivers
to securely access applications and exchange information across the
entire care delivery system.

The Covisint ExchangeLink platform already serves more than 1,100
healthcare organizations nationally, including entire states, health
information exchanges (HIEs), Medicaid programs, health systems and
hospitals, as well as health plans. Organizations leveraging
ExchangeLink's value include the American Medical Association,
Minnesota Health Information Exchange (MNHIE) and many
others--representing more than 290,000 physicians and care providers.
Now, with Covisint ExchangeLink, all healthcare organizations and
providers have the ability to communicate with one another through a
single network.

Covisint ExchangeLink for Healthcare helps solve key challenges facing:


  --  states and HIEs--Covisint ExchangeLink provides the health information
      sharing backbone, supporting and establishing a vendor-neutral exchange
      to access applications and to aggregate and exchange health information.
      Providing an adoption-based approach, this accelerates and simplifies
      physician and provider adoption of health information technology (HIT)
      across the extended care delivery setting.
  --  hospitals and health systems--Covisint ExchangeLink alleviates the
      burdens and inefficiencies of delivering information to the
      point-of-care, including for primary care physicians, specialists,
      post-acute providers, hospitals and clinics--regardless of their
      technical sophistication or the complexity of their systems. Focused on
      physician outreach and care coordination programs, benefits realized
      include competitiveness, time savings and a reduction for unnecessary
      re-admittances along with improved care quality.
  --  physicians and associations--Covisint ExchangeLink electronically
      connects doctors across physician groups, including state-based and
      medical specialty societies. It enables physicians to easily adopt
      technology in a cost-effective and minimally disruptive way.
      ExchangeLink also improves the security and efficiency of healthcare by
      improving secure access through a single sign-on approach for labs,
      reporting, ePrescribing, billing, patient registries and other health
      information.




"Covisint's announcement demonstrates the importance of taking a true
ecosystem approach to enabling the sharing of healthcare information
from multiple sources, systems and even competitors, which will improve
care delivery in unprecedented ways," said Dr. Steven Stack, Trustee
with the American Medical Association. "This is a primary objective of
the AMA Exchange, which utilizes Covisint ExchangeLink."

"The Minnesota Health Information Exchange has, since its inception,
realized significant immediate value leveraging the ExchangeLink
platform," said Mike Ubl, Executive Director of Minnesota Health
Information Exchange, LLC. "The Covisint network enables MNHIE to
continually grow its vision for long-term connectivity and
sustainability across Minnesota--streamlining information to the
point-of-care for our providers."

"Covisint, with ExchangeLink for Healthcare, is uniquely positioned to
help companies address all three primary focus areas for obtaining
HITECH funding," said Brett Furst, Covisint Vice President of
Healthcare. "ExchangeLink connects the healthcare dots, enabling
organizations and users to see each other within one common framework.
The platform not only handles the interoperability and security issues
regarding securely moving around personal health information on
multiple technologies and systems, but it also directly addresses a
fundamental requirement for satisfying meaningful use."
