MALMO, Sweden, April 14, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Telelogic (Other OTC:TGIAF) (Stockholm:TLOG), the leading global provider of solutions for advanced systems and software development, today announced that Delphi Delco Electronics Systems is successfully implementing Telelogic Synergy to meet its configuration management needs, helping coordinate software projects and promote component reuse at a dozen development sites around the world.
Delphi, one of the world's largest vehicle electronics and components companies, supplies electronic systems and transportation component systems for mobile applications.
Automotive software and systems have always had special challenges, with the requirement to function accurately -- and safely, at extreme temperatures and under extreme conditions. And while its nearest cousins, the aerospace and defense industries, face similar challenges, the economies of scale are quite a bit different.
Using Synergy's task-based system for configuration management -- instead of a file-based system -- was a concept change for developers. It has made component reuse simpler and easier, particularly with distributed development teams all working on the same projects.
With automobiles staying on the road for years -- or even decades -- Delphi can't afford to scrap outdated code or the details of how it was built. Formal manufacturing releases are kept for an extended period of time, and they need to retain the ability to recreate the products from the software package. Synergy safely secures all past configurations and can rebuild exact releases at any point in time.
Delphi uses Synergy out-of-the-box, with little or no customizations to keep ownership costs low, remain nimble and reduce support overhead.
"With increasing pressure on development teams to build better software, faster, the ability to automate configuration management and support reuse provides a competitive edge," said Scott Raskin, President of Telelogic Americas and Asia/Pacific. "Delphi leads the industry in component reuse. They maximized productivity using Telelogic Synergy's task-based processes to support and ease reuse, saving them precious time and money and unnecessary headaches."
