IRVINE, Calif., April 26, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- Telelogic (Stockholm Exchange: TLOG), the leading global provider of solutions for advanced systems and software development, today announced that Convergys Corporation (NYSE:CVG) plans to rollout Telelogic SYNERGY(TM) to its development staff around the world.
Convergys, the global leader in integrated billing, employee care, and customer care services, named Telelogic SYNERGY its corporate standard for configuration management as part of the company's efforts to unite and streamline work at its software development sites worldwide.
According to numerous industry analysts firms, SYNERGY/CM is the leading task-based configuration management solution on the market. Compared to file-based systems, the task-based approach to configuration management (CM) effectively coordinates and communicates the development activities of all team members. This provides a more comprehensive picture and the true state of the development project to all developers and managers involved.
``In selecting SYNERGY, we have a solution that will help us consolidate and advance our development processes and tools," said Barry Shaffer, Convergys Vice President - Infinys Integration. ``SYNERGY enables us to enhance our procedures and the way we manage code in a more cost-effective way."
Prior to selecting SYNERGY, Convergys used a variety of commercial and in-house CM tools, making collaboration and reuse difficult.
``A critical factor in selecting SYNERGY was its support for task-based configuration management," Shaffer said. ``We were also impressed with SYNERGY's support for flexible processes and its ability to keep distributed teams in sync."
``Telelogic SYNERGY is tailor-made for complex projects. Because versioning and release management are automated, development teams can focus on tasks rather than tracking individual files," said Anders Lidbeck, president and CEO of Telelogic. ``As Convergys realizes, SYNERGY pays for itself very quickly, through increased productivity, increased quality and reduced overhead and administrative costs."
