I don't know what metric you are using for "right behind IBM", but in this case the relevant metric is probably market cap. Compuware's market cap is 2.5 billion. IBM's market cap is 224 billion.

IBM is probably immune to a takeover, because no one is big enough--it would be by far the largest takeover ever. Compuware is bite-sized in comparison.
