Development Projects

New Web-based requirements definition and management solution meets software
developer needs with low cost of deployment

MALMO, Sweden and Irvine, California - March 20, 2007 - Telelogic (Nordic
Exchange/MidCap/TLOG) today announced a new requirements definition and
management solution that is optimized for the needs of software development
projects. Called Telelogic DOORS® Fastrak™, the new Web-based solution provides
requirements definition and management for collaborative development projects
with short delivery timelines.  

“Telelogic recognizes that good requirements definition and management are
critical to the success of any development project,” said Ingemar Ljungdahl,
Chief Technology Officer, Telelogic.  “We have led the way in providing
requirements-driven development solutions for the world's most complex
engineering projects. With DOORS Fastrak, we are now applying our expertise to
meeting the requirements process needs of rapid software development projects.”

DOORS Fastrak provides a solution that:

• Promotes quick and easy adoption by development teams - simple Web-based
forms, an ‘out-of-the-box' automated workflow and step-by-step guidance provide
a requirements solution that meets the dynamic needs of software development
projects.

• Engages the customer in the requirements process - Web-based access and
role-based views make it simple to involve stakeholders directly in the
requirements capture and review process, and keeps them up-to-date on the
progress and completion of their requirements.

• Delivers high value at low cost - DOORS Fastrak is available either as an
installed application or as Software as a Service (SaaS). DOORS Fastrak doesn't
need additional client software - just a Web browser. The SaaS option lowers the
cost of deployment and administration even further. Starting at just over $1 per
user per day, DOORS Fastrak is a simple, low cost, effective way to improve the
requirements process of fast-paced software development projects.

“Requirements management is a well understood and mature discipline in systems
engineering organizations, and the same principles apply to more dynamic
software development teams,” said Bola Rotibi, Principal Analyst at industry
analysts Ovum. “However, shorter release cycles and more rapid development
models require ‘just enough' process support to balance the need for speed with
the demand for quality.”

“For development projects to successfully meet the needs of their customers,
it's important that those stakeholders are included in the development process,
regardless of the size or scope of the project,” said Teresa Jones, Senior
Analyst at industry analysts Butler Group. “Collaborative requirements
management solutions make it easier for stakeholders to directly submit and
monitor their requirements. This improves developers' overall ability to meet
the needs of their customers.”

DOORS Fastrak is available now.
