Telelogic Lends Support to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System - Tighter Integration of Telelogic and Microsoft Tools Provide Unique Solutions for Software Developers - IRVINE, California - May 24, 2004 - Telelogic (Stockholm Exchange: TLOG), a leading global provider of solutions for advanced systems and software development, today announced its intent to support Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System, a set of extensible lifecycle tools that helps software teams collaborate to reduce the complexity of delivering modern service-oriented solutions. Introduced at Microsoft Tech·Ed 2004 in San Diego, the Visual Studio 2005 Team System consists of a new set of process frameworks, best practices, prescriptive architecture guidance and integrated lifecycle tools that enable IT organizations to quickly and cost-effectively deliver custom solutions on the Windows Server System. Telelogic's support of Visual Studio 2005 Team System continues a long history of working collaboratively with Microsoft to develop high-quality software development solutions. Telelogic recently announced the availability of version 2.0 of the integration between its configuration management solution, SYNERGY/CM 6.3, and Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003. "By supporting Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System, we will strengthen integration and improve information sharing between Telelogic's and Microsoft's lifecycle tools," said Ingemar Ljungdahl, chief technology officer at Telelogic. "Telelogic currently provides extensive .NET Framework-based solutions for enterprise mission-critical applications. This expanded support will certainly help our customers address the challenges associated with today's complex application development environment." "Microsoft is pleased that Telelogic will integrate its solution into Visual Studio 2005 Team System," said Prashant Sridharan, lead product manager in the .NET Developer Product Management Group at Microsoft Corp. "With Telelogic's support, our mutual customers will be able to derive even more value from both companies' tools." In addition to SYNERGY/CM, Telelogic tools provide many unique solutions for developers building solutions for the .NET Framework. Telelogic DOORS®, the industry's leading requirements management tool, enables improved product success through tighter integration of requirements with all phases of development. Furthermore, the integration of DOORS with Telelogic TAU®/Architect and TAU/Developer provides a unique solution for large-scale, geographically distributed requirements-driven projects. As the IT industry moves towards more service-oriented architectures, application development has become significantly more complex. Telelogic recognizes the value of Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team System as a development environment that will enable currently available lifecycle tools to share information more efficiently. "Telelogic believes the introduction of Visual Studio 2005 Team System will broaden the market for enterprise lifecycle tools, providing an exciting range of new business opportunities," Ljungdahl, added. Telelogic is a member of the Microsoft Visual Studio Industry Partner (VSIP) program. Microsoft was a Gold Level Sponsor at Telelogic's 2003 User Group Conference, which was held last October in Las Vegas, Nevada.
