MALMO, Sweden and IRVINE, Calif., Nov. 10, 2003 (PRIMEZONE) -- Telelogic (Stockholm Exchange:TLOG) (Other OTC:TGIAF), the leading global provider of solutions for advanced systems and software development, today released Telelogic SYNERGY/Change 4.3a with Unicode support to meet the growing demand for its state-of-the-art change management solution in the East Asian market.
SYNERGY/Change 4.3a delivers a robust, Web-based, automated Change Management solution to systems and software development teams in Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan. By providing multi-language support within a single database, SYNERGY/Change makes it easier for distributed international teams, as well as outsourced teams, to collaborate on complex development projects.
``Large scale, global development represents a major increase in complexity," said Jim Duggan, vice president, research director at Gartner. ``To realize the full value of this global approach, organizations need more robust process and standards to ensure consistency. Companies will need to upgrade their CM infrastructures to support these processes and to aid communication, visibility, control and decision-making."
Telelogic SYNERGY/Change is an entirely Web-based and fully integrated change request tracking and reporting system that simplifies the process for change request management and enables organizations to respond to changes from both outside and inside sources. It introduces control to entire development lifecycles by providing reliable, end-to-end task-based and process-driven automation across teams in technical and business organizations. With SYNERGY/Change, development teams can track and manage all types of business critical software and content assets, Web-based applications and Web sites to meet the needs of an organization's customers as well as evolving organizational and business requirements.
Achieving higher quality applications, increased efficiency of development resources, and better synchronization of distributed teams are some of the key benefits of SYNERGY/Change and its Configuration Management tool counterpart, Telelogic CM SYNERGY(TM), both of which have been lauded by industry analysts and users alike. A major U.S. telecommunications company, for example, reduced development costs by US$2.5M within 6 months by switching from its former Change and Configuration Management system to SYNERGY/Change and CM SYNERGY.
SYNERGY/Change 4.3a offers:
-- Out-of-the-Box, Flexible Process: Out-of-the-box process enables fast adoption and a built-in lifecycle editor allows users to create custom workflows (stages, rules, security, etc) and forms. With dynamic customization, changes can be easily made to existing workflows, forms, projects and goals.
-- Web-Enabled Visibility: Centralized access to software project activities through an easy-to-use web portal that the entire organization can use to gain visibility to all software development initiatives.
-- Powerful Reporting: Change Management information can be viewed from different user perspectives.
-- Enterprise-Wide Accessibility: Full text search and multi base queries to allow users to retrieve specific content across multiple distributed databases for unparalleled visibility of the development process.
-- Cost-Effective Operation: Includes self-administrative web server, database server, and LDAP server that do not rely on third-party licensing, thus reducing cost of ownership and increasing success of deployment.
-- Support for Perl-based APIs: Teams can take advantage of unique scripting and automation capabilities for integration with project management or customer relationship management (CRM) systems, for example.
-- Robust Security: Firewall and SSL capability allows organizations to open a SYNERGY/Change installation to the outside world for subcontractors or suppliers without compromising security.
-- Support for Complex Processes: Triggers, branches, profile-based views, plus the unique capability to generate online help files, support and simplify complex processes.
-- Electronic Signature Capability: The electronic signature feature in SYNERGY/Change 4.3a empowers software development teams to have greater control over the process of validating and authenticating change items throughout the development lifecycle. Instead of creating, copying, and routing large paper files through the approval chain, SYNERGY/Change users can now sign off on changes electronically for greater efficiency and time savings.
-- Localization: A localized version of SYNERGY/Change will be shipped within Japan. Availability and Platform Support Telelogic SYNERGY/Change 4.3a is available with Servers on Windows 2000 SP3 (CJKT locales) and Sun Solaris 2.8 (ja_locale).
