MALMÖ, Sweden and IRVINE, California – 20 June 2005 – Telelogic (Stockholm Exchange: TLOG), the leading provider of solutions that align advanced systems and software development with business objectives, today announced the availability of a new version of its market-leading Requirements Management solution, Telelogic DOORS®.

Telelogic is recognized as the world leader in Requirements Management, with now over a quarter of a million DOORS users, the greatest market share (according to Gartner Dataquest), and the best solution as judged by industry analysts Yphise. This latest DOORS release further strengthens this leadership by delivering new capabilities, including: • The latest, unparalleled requirements management capabilities now available with native language support across the globe – DOORS 8.0 is a major upgrade since the previous Unicode release, bringing same level of features around the world with support for Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean character sets. DOORS 8.0 also includes dictionaries for spell checking in fifteen languages. • Scalable requirements change management – Telelogic delivers unequalled support for controlling changes to requirements, with an enhanced Change Proposal System in DOORS 8.0 – a simple, ready to use, fixed process for managing changes to requirements only; and an extended integration of DOORS and SYNERGY that provides the most flexible and powerful requirements change management process that also links into a workflow for change management across the entire development lifecycle. • Enhanced Audit Trail and Security – In addition to a complete audit trail of changes to requirements and their attributes, DOORS 8.0 introduces the unique feature of an audit trail of changes to traceability links. Deletion of baselined documents is now also tracked with a record of who deleted them and when. DOORS 8.0 also includes enhancements to its support for Electronic Signatures. Together these extended capabilities make DOORS even more powerful as a solution for managing regulatory compliance. “Telelogic puts a focus on requirements at the heart of its integrated ALM (Automated Lifecycle Management) solutions because delivering what was promised, on time and within budget is critical to our customers,” said Ingemar Ljungdahl, chief technology officer at Telelogic. “With DOORS 8.0 and our integrated Telelogic Lifecycle Solutions release, we are helping our customers to reach higher goals – delivering more than the promise, ahead of time and at reduced costs.” Customer Comments “Our Freightliner truck, set for release in 2007, has more than 200 features with complex requirements for each one,” said Arno von Querfurth, manager of specifications and software systems, DaimlerChrysler. “Tracing all of these features back to the requirements, and re-using them for common components, would be extremely difficult to do without DOORS.” “We have found Telelogic DOORS to be the best tool for managing our complex telecommunications systems requirements,” said Mr. Huang Qian, Requirements Manager, Communication Mobile Device, Siemens, China. “We have been extremely impressed at how easy it has been for our engineers to learn,” added Ms. Li Jun, Software Engineer.

As the award certificate states, “DOORS stands out in all the assessment dimensions of our list of requirements. It provides the most complete and homogenous coverage of these dimensions. This outlines its maturity and reinforces its leadership. This makes it a perfect candidate for investment in requirements management.” The full results of the evaluation were published in Yphise´s 2005 report, "Requirements-driven Application Lifecycle Management.
