Telelogic Facilitates Service Oriented Architecture Adoption with New System
Architect and Tau Solutions

Telelogic System Architect For SOA and Telelogic Tau 3.1 Deliver on the Needs of
Business Process Optimization and Application Development

MALMÖ, Sweden and IRVINE, California - May 21, 2007 - Telelogic (Nordic
Exchange/MidCap/TLOG) today announced two products that accelerate Service
Oriented Architecture (SOA) adoption by enabling business and IT collaboration
from visual design of an Enterprise Architecture through the development of
service applications. SOA describes an architecture that uses loosely coupled
services to support the requirements of today's highly competitive businesses.

The new products - Telelogic System Architect® For SOA and Telelogic Tau® 3.1 -
are designed to expand SOA workflow capabilities to help business and IT
managers align their efforts to develop, deliver, and maintain service-oriented
applications.

- Building upon Telelogic's market-leading Enterprise Architecture (EA)
solution, System Architect For SOA provides the planning and implementation
benefits of EA and Business Process Analysis to organizations developing a
strategy to roll out a Service Oriented Architecture (for details see
accompanying release).

- Tau 3.1, the latest version of the company's popular model-driven development
(MDD) solution, makes it easier to design, create, assemble, and test the
business solutions of a Service Oriented Architecture (for details see
accompanying release).

Today's announcements deliver on Telelogic's commitment to provide
enterprise-wide products and solutions that allow organizations to align their
enterprise objectives with their technology investments through Business Process
Optimization (BPO), Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), and Model-Driven
Development (MDD). With System Architect For SOA and Tau 3.1, Telelogic brings
together model-driven applications that uniquely help organizations build
complete business solutions while reusing existing services. The approach also
helps business and IT professionals design SOA and service-based capabilities
that enhance business agility so that all stakeholders can assess technological
advances while understanding the impact on the organization's business strategy.


“As SOA becomes pervasive and service modeling standards emerge, the pressure
will become overwhelming for organizations to have an SOA modeling strategy
linked to the business through business process management,” says David Norton,
Research Director, Gartner.  “The integration of business and system modeling
tools will offer organization more features and flexibility for model-based
service assembly leading to faster deployment.”

Both Telelogic System Architect For SOA and Telelogic Tau 3.1 help organizations
looking to improve SOA adoption and alignment of IT technologies with business
strategies. With these capabilities, organizations now have the unique ability
to support the entire lifecycle of an SOA service from requirements to
development, test, and maintenance. This is becoming increasingly important for
organizations to deliver services that integrate all aspects of the lifecycle. 

“Many of our customers are looking to SOA methods to help them become more agile
in their ability to better support their business process goals.  An essential
piece of the puzzle is a clear understanding of the IT landscape; this will help
companies establish interconnected processes that facilitate collaboration
between business and IT stakeholders,” says Greg Sikes, Executive Vice
President, Modeling Solutions at Telelogic. “Our new System Architect For SOA
and Tau 3.1 make it possible to quickly create a portfolio of service-based
applications.”
