Telelogic Announces Enterprise Architecture and IT Application Development
Technologies that Improve Collaboration, Enterprise Planning and IT
Implementation

New Solutions Allow Any Organization to More Fully Apply Architecture
Information for Better Decisions and Streamlined Application Development

MALMÖ, Sweden and IRVINE, California -November 26, 2007 - Telelogic (Nordic
Exchange/MidCap/TLOG) today announced a series of technology enhancements to
help organizations continue to improve their business planning and
implementation projects. These integrated solutions enable worldwide team
collaboration, strengthen enterprise planning capabilities, and empower
organizations to understand and formulate their business strategies and develop
IT solutions that satisfy their business goals.

Today's announcements include the latest releases of Telelogic System
Architect®, the industry leading enterprise architecture and business analysis
solution; Telelogic Tau®, a leading model-driven development (MDD™) solution for
enterprise IT development; and a ground-breaking integration between the two
solutions. 

The Telelogic solutions extend the company's offerings in the areas of
enterprise architecture, business analysis, business optimization and IT
implementation for both service oriented architecture (SOA) and more traditional
environments. Telelogic's strategy gives a much wider range of people within an
organization -- including business analysts, enterprise architects, executives
and IT developers -- the opportunity to more fully participate in the enterprise
architecture-to-IT process. 

 “Our customers can use these new capabilities to better understand the
potential impact of implementing their business strategies,” said Greg Sikes,
executive vice president, Modeling Solutions Product Division, Telelogic. “Our
goal is continued improvement of collaboration, analysis and planning so that
all team members within an organization have access to quality information for
making smarter decisions about evolving to a more optimized state of
operations.” 


Cross functional collaboration is increasingly important to organizations
seeking to optimize performance throughout the enterprise. Recent Telelogic
research conducted at the 2007 Enterprise Architecture Conference indicates that
most teams do not have the right tools in place to transition from business,
organizational and IT planning to the deployment of relevant services and
information systems. Only 27percent of those surveyed reported using a
model-based approach, while the majority of respondents rely on verbal or
written methods to translate business goals into development plans. As a result,
80 percent of all respondents reported that the services and applications that
are developed "only somewhat" reflect the needs of subject matter experts.

With the new releases of System Architect and Tau, Telelogic improves the
ability for both technical and non-technical personnel to achieve the best
possible solution by participating in each phase of the enterprise architecture
and application development process. Traceability is maintained from initial
business goals and requirements to implementation to better support corporate
compliance and future regression analysis and audit. Deployed technologies and
services reflect the current business requirements and objectives and can be
easily adapted to changing business needs. 

Improved Enterprise Architecture and Business Analysis Capabilities
Telelogic's industry-leading enterprise architecture and business analysis
solution, System Architect, has been enhanced to allow for more cross-functional
collaboration with the addition of a live integration between System
Architecture and Microsoft® Visio® drawing and diagramming software. With System
Architecture 11.0, Telelogic also introduces enterprise planning capabilities by
adding visualization and time-based categorization and analysis. See news

Planning to Analyze and Manage Organizational Change”

Enterprise Architecture to IT Implementation
System Architect 11.0 now supports the UML® 2.1 standard. In addition, System
Architect has been integrated with Telelogic Tau, Telelogic's standards-based
environment for the model driven development of enterprise systems and software,
to offer a bi-directional enterprise architecture to IT workflow implementation,
the first of its kind in the industry. Further enhancements have been made in
Tau 4.0 to significantly bolster requirements engineering and the product's
support for the model-driven SOA development. See news release “Telelogic
Integrates Enterprise Architecture, Business Process Analysis and IT Application
Development Domains into a Unified Workflow”

Federal Standards Support
System Architect 11.0 now offers integrated support for several federal defense
standards, including the Dept. of Defense Architectural Framework (DoDAF) v1.5,
the Core Architecture Data Model (CADM), the architecture data element
specification, and the DoD Architecture Repository System (DARS), a defense
repository. See news release “Telelogic Announces Latest Version of Telelogic
System Architect with Integrated Support for Federal Defense Standards.”
