Telelogic Announces Latest Release of System Architect with Enterprise Planning
to Analyze and Manage Organizational Change

New Release Includes Integration to Microsoft Visio® for Improved Business
Analysis

MALMÖ, Sweden and IRVINE, California -November 26, 2007 - Telelogic (Nordic
Exchange/MidCap/TLOG) today announced the latest version of Telelogic System
Architect®, its leading enterprise architecture and business process analysis
solution. 

System Architect 11.0 offers new features and capabilities that help
organizations more fully deploy, visualize, collaborate on, and scale their
enterprise architecture and business process analysis initiatives. New
enterprise planning capabilities enable organizations to use their architecture
to better understand the impact, resources and risks associated with evolving
from their current environment to a future state. Other new features include
time-based analysis and dynamic enterprise visualization. "Christiana Care Health System is one of the leading healthcare organizations in
the country.  Any technology decisions we make must be clearly aligned with to
our business strategies," said Dave Keifer, Enterprise Architect, Christiana
Care Health System. "System Architect's new enterprise planning will enable us
to better visualize and compare our current environment with our future goals
and visualize the journey between the two.  It will also help us better manage
large amounts of data and migrate it smoothly into our enterprise architecture
repository. System Architect offers a solid platform for any large-scale EA
program focused on achieving actionable results and facilitating collaboration."
Also highlighting the announcement is Telelogic System Architect/Process
Integrator™, a live integration between System Architect's enterprise
architecture solution and Microsoft Visio drawing and diagramming software.
Visio business modelers can now actively participate in and more easily
contribute to enterprise architecture development within the System Architect
environment. 

“AGL Energy is transforming its retail business and introducing a significant
number of new business processes, all of which are modeled in Visio,” said Mark
Williams, Enterprise Architect, AGL Energy Limited. “The new Process Integrator
presents us with a great opportunity to centralize and standardize our Visio
diagrams with a seamless integration into our System Architect repository. With
this new capability, our organization is able to capture critical information
from key stakeholders, and still take advantage of the advanced analytical
capabilities within System Architect necessary to empower successful and
educated decisions.”

Other product highlights include enhanced Web-based modeling and editing
capabilities via Telelogic System Architect/XT™ and a complete enterprise
architecture to IT implementation workflow based on a new System Architect
integration with Telelogic Tau®, the company's leading model-driven development
(MDD™) solution for enterprise IT development. The System Architect - Tau
integration is the next step in Telelogic's strategy to offer robust support for
service-oriented architecture (SOA) projects. "Enterprise architecture repositories commonly offer the ability to store,
structure and relate diverse information," said Greta James, research vice
president, Business of IT Research Division, Gartner. "A repository's
information can provide valuable insights on the impact of changes to the
business over time, including the ramifications of these changes for IT
resources. The ability to provide easy access to this information to a range of
stakeholders is a valuable part of any enterprise architecture program."

“Telelogic's strategy is to help our customers more easily understand the impact
of evolving their enterprise architecture and business processes,” said Greg
Sikes, Executive Vice President, Modeling Solutions Product Division, Telelogic.
“System Architect's enhanced enterprise planning and adaptive modeling and
visualization environment will allow our customers to better collaborate on
higher-quality enterprise architecture information, resulting in a more
optimized enterprise both today and tomorrow.” 

System Architect 11.0 key new features and capabilities include:

Improved Enterprise Planning
System Architect now delivers more comprehensive enterprise planning
capabilities, a collection of features that enable organizations to use their
enterprise architecture to better manage the changes required in moving from
their current environment to a future state. New enterprise visualization
enhancements enable architecture teams to perform time-based analysis by
layering diagrams to see the impact of changes, such as ‘services available now
and in 2008.' Users also have the ability to dynamically categorize and view
large amounts of project data. A unique “intelligent” folder structure
automatically categorizes large amounts of information to facilitate data
management and reuse in both small- and large-scale projects. 

These new capabilities, in combination with System Architect's role-based access
control and intelligent merge/extract, are a significant step toward helping
organizations use System Architect to see and understand the impact of change as
they move from their current (‘as is') to the future (‘to be') architecture. The
planning capabilities are available in System Architect, the Web-based System
Architect/XT and the publishing-engine, System Architect/Publisher™. 

Additional Modeling Interfaces
System Architect 11 has expanded its modeling interface options to better meet
the needs of users throughout an organization. Customers can tailor architecture
information to meet the needs of many different team members, such as architects
requiring powerful modeling capabilities, analysts requiring simple business
process analysis, executives needing dashboard views, and IT architects seeking
insights into systems development. 
•	Microsoft Visio Support. The Telelogic System Architect/Process Integrator
delivers a live integration between System Architect's enterprise architecture
solution and Microsoft Visio. Business analysts using Visio can now more easily
access and analyze architecture data to ensure IT development is aligned to
business goals and processes.
•	Improved Web-based Editing. System Architect/XT, the Web-based version of
System Architect, now offers expanded online editing capabilities, including the
ability to use a Web browser to draw and edit models using the Business Process
Modeling Notation (BPMN) and organizational chart diagrams. Also included are
executive dashboards for improved high-level reporting. This addition expands
the ability of System Architect users to post, review and share models
regardless of geographic boundaries and time zones.
•	UML 2.1 Support. System Architect is now compliant with the UML® 2.1 standard.


Expanded Reference Model Support
System Architect now provides fully integrated support for the latest version of
the Supply Chain Operations Reference-model (SCOR), a process reference model
endorsed by the Supply Chain Council, and the TeleManagement Forum Next
Generation Operations Systems and Software (NGOSS), a comprehensive, integrated
framework for operational and business support systems and software development
in telecom networks. Using these optional integrated reference model templates,
System Architect users can more quickly and efficiently launch and develop
enterprise architecture programs tailored to these market sectors. 

New Federal Standards Support
System Architect now supports generation of the Core Architecture Data Model
(CADM), the Department of Defense's architecture data element specification, a
first step in achieving compliance with the DoD Architecture Repository System
(DARS), a defense architecture information repository. Agencies can now more
easily submit and share their architectures and models across the DoD. System
Architect is the first solution to generate all of the DoD-compliant products
for CADM. 

Enterprise Architecture through Implementation Solution
In related news, Telelogic also separately announced the integration of
Telelogic's leading enterprise architecture and model-driven development for IT
solutions -- Telelogic System Architect and Telelogic Tau, respectively. This
integration enables organizations to develop a seamless workflow that begins
with their enterprise architecture, takes into consideration business process
analysis, and ends with application modeling and development. This is the first
time any two modeling products have offered a working, bi-directional link
between business and IT modeling through to application implementation. The
integration is available free-of-charge to System Architect 11.0 and Tau 4.0
customers. See news release “Telelogic Integrates Enterprise Architecture,
Business Process Analysis and IT Application Development Domains into a Unified
Workflow.” http://www.telelogic.com/company/news/index.cfm
