Telelogic speeds up the software development at leading German telecom vendor

Telelogic speeds up the software development at leading German telecom vendor MALMÖ, Sweden, November 29, 2000 - Telelogic AB (Stockholm Stock Exchange: TLOG), the leading supplier of solutions for real-time software development and requirements management, today announced that Siemens is using Telelogic Tau to speed up data transfer in existing telecommunication networks. Siemens chose to replace the old internal development tool with the SDL Suite (used for design of software), a module in the Telelogic Tau product family. Determining factors were in particular the object-orientation as well as the automatic code generation. "Tools developed internally are often competing with Telelogic's solutions, but we see a clear trend towards an extensive use of commercial tools", says Anders Lidbeck, President & CEO at Telelogic. "With increased complexity and shorter time-to-market, our customers need a supplier that is at the front edge of the development and offer solutions well suited for advanced software development. Telelogic has the tools, services and components needed to be the leading supplier in this area." Dr. Bernhard Seiss, director of R&D at Siemens in Munich highlights the usability of SDL as well as the SDL Suite: "SDL is simply the ideal description language for telecommunication use. The communication between several components and their different states of operation can be very effectively modelled with SDL. Faults are found at an early stage thus saving us a lot of the time spent searching for them on the target hardware. This leads to a considerable cost reduction since we don't need that much expensive test equipment." The quality of the automatic generated code leaves nothing to be desired, according to Dr. Seiss. "The generated code is 100% usable and is implemented without any changes to it at all." The benefits that Dr. Seiss sees in Telelogic's tools come not only from his own department's experiences. "We at Siemens employ the tool internally in other developing labs as well. I have learned from different manufacturers that the Telelogic Tau SDL Suite is more and more common. I think that the product will gain even wider acceptance in the future."
