MALMO, Sweden and IRVINE, Calif., July 20, 2005 -- Telelogic, the leading global provider of software solutions that align advanced systems and software development with business objectives, today announced that Computer Business Review (CBR) has ranked Telelogic in the top ten most influential companies in application development for 2005. This is the third consecutive year that Telelogic has made the top ten.
The CBR research report praises Telelogic as a company that ``came on strongly over the course of the last year in the area of integrated modeling, requirements management and testing." CBR also recognizes Telelogic's "strong financials" and that "its influence is set to grow as it has just acquired Focal Point ? web-based portfolio management ? and Popkin (enterprise modelling). Perhaps a little later in joining the IT governance market than many of its competitors, Telelogic remains a company to watch as it fleshes out its portfolio."
The report also supports and validates the benefits of Telelogic's status as an independent, standalone company that remains a formidable competitor to companies such as Rational that have been bought out and merged into larger entities.
Last year, Telelogic ranked seventh in CBR's 2004 top ten most influential companies in application development. This year, CBR has abandoned the numerical ranking in favor of an overall top-ten recognition of Telelogic and other leading industry counterparts such as IBM, Mercury Interactive, Microsoft, Oracle, and Sun Microsystems. "This is the third year in a row that Computer Business Review has recognized Telelogic for our leadership and innovation in application development," said Anders Lidbeck, president and CEO of Telelogic. "CBR's confidence in Telelogic is a testament to our continuing commitment to deliver best-in-class application lifecycle tools to our customers."
