Telelogic Lifecycle Solutions Recognized as Technology Leaders by Butler Group

Technology Audits Praise Telelogic DOORS, Synergy, Change, Focal Point, System
Architect, Tau, and Rhapsody

Malmö, SWEDEN - 23rd July, 2007 - Telelogic, Telelogic (Nordic Exchange
/MidCap/TLOG) today announced that the company's integrated lifecycle solutions
have been deemed industry leading products by Butler Group in its June 2007
Technology Audit reports.

“Once again, Butler Group has recognized Telelogic solutions for their strength
and innovation in software and systems development,” said Anders Lidbeck,
President and CEO, Telelogic. “Our continued high rankings validate Telelogic's
commitment to delivering robust lifecycle solutions to our customers worldwide.
We are very pleased to mark another year of receiving a highly favorable
analysis from Butler Group.”

The following excerpts from Butler Group's Technology Audit reports demonstrate
the analysts' confidence in Telelogic solutions:

Telelogic Requirements Management Solutions: “Control over project quality”
The Butler Group Technology Audit recognizes the longstanding market leadership
of Telelogic DOORS® and the value of Telelogic's full range of requirements
management solutions. It also emphasizes the importance of requirements
management to project success. 

The report states: “Any organisation that wants to get control over project
quality would benefit from reviewing Telelogic's [requirements management]
offerings . . . 

“Butler Group believes that requirements management is a key part of the
development lifecycle, as it enables organisations to ‘do the right thing', and
make sure that what is developed meets what was needed. All too often project
failures can be attributed directly to poor requirements management, and
Telelogic's offerings have the ability to ameliorate this, particularly if
applied as part of a wider lifecycle approach.”
Telelogic Synergy™ 6.5 and Change™ 4.7: “A winning strategy that co-ordinates
change and workflow”
The Butler Group Technology Audit praises the ease of use and quick adaptability
of Telelogic Synergy and Telelogic Change, the company's change and
configuration management solutions, as well as the products' ability to drive an
organization's change process. The report states:

“[With Synergy and Change] Telelogic has a winning strategy, by providing
ready-to-use solutions that have proven success and scalability to co-ordinate
change and workflow across the organisation.

“Telelogic addresses CCM thoroughly with its Synergy and Change products, but
the real emphasis that Butler Group believes the company now promotes, is the
overall change process rather than just the tools. It is this process emphasis
that customers will find valuable - although tools must be good and easy-to-use,
if they do not have a wider framework to promote their use, they are unlikely to
deliver their true value.”

In addition, in its July 2007 Software Product Assessment, French industry
analyst group Yphise named Telelogic Synergy on its shortlist as one of the most
effective solutions for software development management (SDM). 

Telelogic System Architect®: “Should be on an organisation's short list”
The Butler Group Technology Audit confirms that System Architect is a modeling
solution that is important to the success of Enterprise Architecture
initiatives. The report states: 

“Anyone wishing to create a business model and subsequent logical and physical
representations of the enterprise would benefit from the use of System
Architect.

“Butler Group believes it would be unwise to embark on Enterprise Architecture,
BPM, or system design without assistance from a modelling tool specifically
designed for the purpose. In addition, a central repository is vital to provide
a common information source for everyone involved with modeling. Also important
is the ability to base the process on a framework and customise the models to
fit each organisations own situation. System Architect meets these criteria,
making it a tool that should be on an organisation's short list when selecting a
modelling tool to document the whole enterprise.”
Telelogic Focal Point™: Value in “interactive decision making process”
The Butler Group Technology Audit recognizes Telelogic Focal Point, the
company's solution for product management and product portfolio management, for
its ability to visualize requirements for more informed decision making. The
report states:

“Any organisation that develops software is likely to benefit from Focal Point,
but it is likely to be especially relevant to organisations that develop
products with an ear to the market.

“Where Focal Point comes into its own is in the dynamic way that the central
repository of requirements, benefits, and costings can be interrogated in a very
visual manner. Thus, users can interact with the information held within the
solution, selecting and de-selecting alternatives to provide the most value for
the least potential cost within any particular product version. Butler Group
believes that this interactive decision making process will be of great value to
clients that would otherwise find it very challenging to ensure that the
information about options is not overwhelming.”

Model-Driven Development Solutions: “At the forefront”
Telelogic Tau and Telelogic Rhapsody are Telelogic's solutions for model-driven
development. The Butler Group Technology Audit praises Telelogic as a pioneer in
modeling solutions and emphasizes the importance of Telelogic Tau® and Telelogic
Rhapsody® as products vital to the development lifecycle. The report states:

“Telelogic is involved at the forefront of developments in modelling, and its
MDD product set - Tau and Rhapsody - cover complex systems applications through
to embedded and real-time applications.

“With Tau and Rhapsody, model and code are synchronised in real-time, ensuring
that the investment effort in models is exploited throughout the lifecycle,
including at the final maintenance and support, live production phase when costs
are at their highest.

“In Butler Group's opinion, the MDD offering from Telelogic is one of the most
powerful on the market and should be considered by developers wanting to improve
quality and reduce time-to-market of large and/or complex software systems and
applications.”
