Telelogic to Develop Open
Source Processes as an Early Committer to the Eclipse Process Framework
Telelogic to
Contribute Best Practices to Systems and Software Development Community
MALMÖ, Sweden and IRVINE,
California - March 16, 2006 - Telelogic (Stockholm Exchange: TLOG), the
leading provider of software solutions that align advanced systems and
software development with business objectives, today announced it will be
an early committer to the Eclipse Process Framework (EPF). Telelogic
brings an extensive library of best practices accumulated over the last 20
years in areas such as Requirements-Driven Development, Model Driven
Architecture, Enterprise Change Management, and Systems and Software
Development.
"As an early committer, we are pleased to be involved at the
inception of this project and to share some of our best practices. Open
source development processes will clearly have a large impact on the
systems and software development community, and Telelogic has a broad
range of expertise to help them evolve," said Bill Shaw, Senior Vice
President Common Technologies, Telelogic.
Chris Sibbald, Senior Systems Engineer, Lifecycle Solutions, Telelogic,
and Kurt Sand, Solutions Manager, Telelogic were both voted in as
committers on February 27, 2006.
"Telelogic is a welcome addition to the EPF project. It is great to
have industry leaders with the system and software development experience
of Telelogic joining the team," said Per Kroll, Eclipse Process
Framework Project Lead.
EPF is an Open Source project within the Eclipse Foundation. EPF is both a
tool - "EPF Composer" - for authoring and publishing processes,
as well as a collection of exemplary processes which so far include an
Agile Process and a Unified Process.
Telelogic looks forward to contributing to a process that is fundamental,
complete, and extensible. The process is fundamental in that only
essential content is included; complete in that it can be manifested as an
entire process to build a system; and extensible in that it can be used as
a foundation on which process content can be added or tailored as needed.
The process takes an agile approach to development, valuing team
collaboration and benefits to the stakeholders. The process provides this
progressive approach to building systems within a proven, structured
lifecycle.
In addition to contributing to the open source EPF, Telelogic also plans
to offer its clients robust process extensions for systems and software
projects more complex than the EPF is intended to help.
"This is another step forward in our Enterprise Lifecycle Management
(ELM) strategy to deliver solutions for automating and supporting best
practices across the enterprise. Organizations will benefit from the
additional value of Telelogic´s robust process extensions and automation
that make processes across the lifecycle scaleable and actionable on real
projects," said Ingemar Ljungdahl, Chief Technology Officer,
Telelogic.

Telelogic SYSTEM ARCHITECT® Is the
Only Tool to Offer Comprehensive Support for All Popular DoD
Architecture Methodologies
OSD NII Study Finds that
80% of Respondents Favor Structured Methodologies for Modeling and
Enterprise Architecture
MALMÖ, Sweden and IRVINE,
California - 21 March 2006 - Telelogic (Stockholm Exchange: TLOG), the
leading provider of software solutions that align advanced systems and
software development with business objectives, today announced that
Telelogic SYSTEM ARCHITECT®, the leading enterprise architecture and
modeling tool, is the only enterprise architecture and modeling tool that
supports the methodologies favored by Department of Defense (DoD)
architects at US defense agencies.
The report confirms that methodologies supported by Telelogic’s SYSTEM
ARCHITECT, including Activity Based Methodology (ABM) and Business Process
Modeling Notation (BPMN), IDEF0 (Integrated DEFinition methods) and
Unified Modeling Language (UML) are the methodologies of choice for US
defense agencies on their Department of Defense architecture programs.
Eighty percent of the respondents stated they used structured
methodologies (ABM, IDEF0, BPMN, other) which is supported by SYSTEM
ARCHITECT while 20 percent use object techniques (UML), which is supported
by both SYSTEM ARCHITECT and Telelogic TAU. SYSTEM ARCHITECT provides
integrated support architecture for the Dept. of Defense Architecture
Framework (DoDAF), the platform on which all DoD architecture programs are
developed.
"The study confirms that SYSTEM ARCHITECT is the leading enterprise
architecture tool in the defense community because it offers the widest
range of features that cater to the unique needs of the defense
architecture and modeling community," said Anders Lidbeck, President
and CEO of Telelogic. "During the past two decades, the SYSTEM
ARCHITECT team has worked hard to ensure SYSTEM ARCHITECT is at the
leading edge of this market. Our product is supported by one of the
strongest worldwide research and development and professional consulting
teams that focus only on the defense market. Our commitment is to keep our
leadership position by anticipating and incorporating DoD architecture
requirements in areas such as net-centric warfare and strategic
planning."
Telelogic SYSTEM ARCHITECT is the only tool available today to offer
comprehensive support for all structured, data, object and business
process modeling techniques. Organizations worldwide use SYSTEM ARCHITECT
to design, visualize and analyze business models and enterprise
architectures. With one powerful tool, the relationships between the
diverse business relationships of technology, processes and data can be
visualized and traced back to their original sources. As a result,
organizations can more quickly understand, analyze and take firm action on
ever-changing technology and business issues that have the potential to
affect their business. For more information on the tool, visit: http://www.telelogic.com/corp/products/systemarchitect/index.cfm
The Architecture Development and Analysis Survey was conducted by MITRE
for the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) Networks and Information
Integration (NII). The study was conducted in mid-2005 for the OSD/NII to
help them ensure that their priorities, educational efforts, and programs
are aligned with and meet the specific architecture development and
assessment needs and goals of the DoD community.
