The company now offers sophisticated ALM capability, and Butler Group believes that it has made significant progress in helping to shape what ALM should include in order for organisations to develop the right applications in the right way.” “This extremely positive review by the respected Butler Group comes on the heels of recent analyst praise from Computer Business Review and IDC,” said Anders Lidbeck, president and CEO of Telelogic. “Telelogic is pleased to be recognized for the strength of its ALM solutions and we see the Butler Group’s findings as confirmation of our efforts to meet customer needs with best-in-class, integrated tools.” For a limited time, complimentary copies of the Butler Group Application Lifecycle Management Technology Audit can be downloaded at: www.telelogic.com/butler2005 About Butler Group Butler Group is the premier European provider of Information Technology research, analysis, and advice.
