Telelogic's Environment for Model-Driven SOA Development

By enabling engineers to graphically design and develop large, complex software architectures, Telelogic Tau 3.0 bridges the gaps that exist between business, technical, and IT departments. With Tau 3.0's platform-independent application development environment, organizations can future proof their IT investments because Tau 3.0 enables them to migrate today's proprietary services applications to formal SOA.

“With its ability to visually assemble, simulate, and test a network-based application of loosely-coupled services components, a model-driven approach will greatly aid the development of Service Oriented Architectures,” says Stephen Hendrick, Group Vice President of IDC, Inc. “A focus on standards-adherence and lifecycle management makes MDD the obvious choice for companies that want to maximize the efficiency of their distributed applications.”

By extending Telelogic Tau, trusted by leading aerospace, defense, telecommunications, and transportation organizations for the development of large, complex systems and software, Telelogic is enabling enterprise IT, financial management, banking, and manufacturing organizations to leverage the benefits of Model-Driven Development. As these users implement Service-Oriented Architectures and other distributed applications, they can look to Tau's visual construction capabilities to help them identify, select, and develop services, software, interfaces, and components. To achieve these goals, users require a structured approach to design and development not only for the intended application, but also for the entire functioning service system. This system must account for all participants in the architecture, including the intended users and the existing service components being tapped by the application. Tau 3.0 provides the complete, integrated development environment needed to handle this in a clear, robust, and scalable manner.

Tau 3.0 bridges the gap between requirements management and software development, increasing productivity through standards-based graphical development of systems and software for real-time and enterprise IT services-based applications, including those supporting Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA).
