Compuware Jobs Going to Poland

Compuware Corp., a Detroit-based software company that did $1 billion in sales last year, announced June 11 a job restructuring that affected three of its product development sites, including one in San Diego.

The company said it is moving work at the San Diego office to Gdansk, Poland, where Compuware develops other products, but will maintain a sales presence at its Sorrento Valley office.

Spokeswoman Lisa Elkin said a total of 245 employees are losing their jobs because of the job cuts that also affected an office in New Hampshire and another in Amsterdam, Netherlands. She declined to provide the number of people laid off at the individual offices.

The action will result in the company increasing its expenses this year by $25 million, Elkin said.

According to Rich’s Business Directories, a data-gathering service based in San Mateo, Compuware said it had 50 employees at the San Diego office in March.
