Application Development Domains into a Unified Workflow

New Solution Combines the Latest Releases of Telelogic System Architect and
Telelogic Tau to Deliver a Complete Modeling Environment that Uniquely
Integrates Business with IT

MALMÖ, Sweden and IRVINE, California - November 26, 2007 - Telelogic (Nordic
Exchange/MidCap/TLOG) today announced a new enterprise implementation solution,
which features the integration of System Architect® 11.0, the latest release of
its leading enterprise architecture and modeling solution, and Telelogic Tau®
4.0, the latest release of its leading model-driven development (MDD™) solution
for enterprise IT development.

Telelogic's integrated solution provides a seamless, model-based workflow that
creates a bi-directional link between business and IT from enterprise
architecture and business process analysis through the systems and software
development lifecycle. It offers a collaborative platform for meeting the needs
of the many stakeholders in this process, including enterprise architects,
business analysts and IT development teams.

“As SOA adoption evolves, we can expect to see a growing need for services that
directly address business issues, including corporate architecture, process
re-engineering and Business Process Management. Similarly, IT organizations are
increasingly concerned about being able to achieve and demonstrate tangible
business outcomes that satisfy these services,” Said Steve Hendrick Group Vice
President of Application Development and Deployment Research at IDC. 

With its announcement of a united business and IT workflow through the
integration of System Architect and Tau, Telelogic is expanding its capabilities
to address these requirements to the satisfaction of the entire enterprise.

Collaboration across Modeling Environments
Today's announcement is a significant step in enhancing Telelogic's enterprise
lifecycle management solution. 

“The integration of System Architect and Tau allows our customers to
realistically transition between big picture thinking and reality,” said Greg
Sikes, Executive Vice President, Modeling Solutions Product Division, Telelogic.
“This solution gives organizations access to best-in-class modeling technologies
at each stage of their enterprise architecture, business process, and systems
and software development lifecycle. Just as importantly, it offers the ability
to hand off stable, tested business strategies to IT for implementation, and
delivers complete traceability throughout the workflow. This ground-breaking
solution from Telelogic delivers on the promise of truly integrating IT with the
business.” 

This integrated implementation solution delivers the following rich features:

•	UML 2.1 Support. System Architect now supports the full capabilities of the
Unified Modeling Language® (UML® 2.1) standard to specify, visualize, and
document systems and software, including their structure and design. The
commonality of Tau's UML 2.1 support across both solutions ensures that models
developed in either environment may be accessed in the other for faster and
easier editing, review, collaboration and implementation. 
•	Common repository. Tau users now have full access to the System Architect
repository, providing a common structure for the collection and dissemination of
information and improved analysis and development. For example, business
processes can be transformed into UML models that can then be used to drive
systems and software development. Changes at the systems level made in Tau can
be reviewed in System Architect for suitability against the business model.
Further, business services in System Architect can be translated into technical
services in Tau for implementation of a SOA strategy. 
•	Model Collaboration. Model visualization is adaptive, based on a user's role.
Individual users can work within their comfort zone (i.e., modeling discipline)
and then share models with others outside of their domain. Architects and
analysts have access to the appropriate modeling tools for their tasks without
requiring knowledge of other domains. Currently supported domains include
Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), Business Process Execution Language
(BPEL), entity relationship (E/R) modeling and UML. 
•	Web Access. For the first time, Tau users now have access to the robust online
collaboration capabilities offered by System Architect/XT™, the Web-based
version of System Architect. Both business and IT users can create, edit and
share models across geographic boundaries and time zones, ensuring that key team
members across the globe actively participate in the architecture/implementation
process. 

The System Architect-Tau integration supports the extension of enterprise
architecture and business process management through application analysis,
design, development and deployment. IT teams can communicate design-specific
information back to business users to ensure compatibility with strategy, while
ensuring the optimal mix of security and performance based on a thorough
trade-off analysis. Business users can use System Architect to ensure that
business processes and goals are part of the development of systems and
software. In addition, Tau users gain access to System Architect's extensive
feature set, including advanced analysis and visualization.

“This solution is ideal for service-oriented architecture strategies,” said
Sikes. “SOA development and deployment is enabled through the integrated
workflow of three distinct disciplines—systems and software development,
enterprise architecture and business process. This allows our customers to
conceptualize their ideal enterprise environment and then implement it.”
