Telelogic Aligns enterprise Architecture and IT Application Development Modeling

The announcements include the latest releases of Telelogic System Architect, the industry leading enterprise architecture and business analysis solution; Telelogic Tau, a leading model-driven development (MDD) solution for enterprise IT development; and a ground-breaking integration between the two solutions.

The Telelogic solutions extend the company’s offerings in the areas of enterprise architecture, business analysis, business optimization and IT implementation for both service oriented architecture (SOA) and more traditional environments. Telelogic’s strategy gives a much wider range of people within an organization -- including business analysts, enterprise architects, executives and IT developers -- the opportunity to more fully participate in the enterprise architecture-to-IT process.

Cross functional collaboration is increasingly important to organizations seeking to optimize performance throughout the enterprise. Recent Telelogic research conducted at the 2007 Enterprise Architecture Conference indicates that most teams do not have the right tools in place to transition from business, organizational and IT planning to the deployment of relevant services and information systems. Only 27percent of those surveyed reported using a model-based approach, while the majority of respondents rely on verbal or written methods to translate business goals into development plans. As a result, 80 percent of all respondents reported that the services and applications that are developed only somewhat reflect the needs of subject matter experts.

With the new releases of System Architect and Tau, Telelogic improves the ability for both technical and non-technical personnel to achieve the best possible solution by participating in each phase of the enterprise architecture and application development process. Traceability is maintained from initial business goals and requirements to implementation to better support corporate compliance and future regression analysis and audit. Deployed technologies and services reflect the current business requirements and objectives and can be easily adapted to changing business needs.
