The contract, which was signed on June 30, is the single largest license deal for the Tau Generation2 product line since it was introduced in October. "This is a breakthrough win for Tau Generation2," said Anders Lidbeck, President and CEO, Telelogic. "A deal of this magnitude for a newly released product demonstrates our customer's confidence in Telelogic and shows their satisfaction with the Telelogic products they have previously purchased." The US$1.16 million agreement includes US$500,000 for licenses and maintenance, plus US$660,000 in services and training. "Tau Generation2 has been very well received by the market since it was launched in October. But with sales cycles of six to nine months, previous agreements for this new product have focused on pilots for assessment and testing. Now, as with this deal, we are seeing results and anticipate selling Tau Generation2 on a larger scale," Lidbeck concluded. Tau Generation2 is based on the UML® 2.0 standard. For the first time, with Tau Generation2, companies can deploy an integrated, multi-user visual development and test tool solution that supports and accelerates the entire application development lifecycle - from system analysis and specification to real-time software design, implementation and testing - all within the same state-of-the-art, productivity-enhancing development environment.
