Telelogic DOORS(R) Named Industry's Best Requirements Management Tool by Yphise

MALMO, Sweden, Feb. 15, 2005 (PRIMEZONE) -- Telelogic, the leading global provider of solutions for advanced software and systems development, today announced Telelogic DOORS earned the 2005 Yphise Award for Best Requirements Management Software. The award is based on a comprehensive performance and functionality assessment using an ISO 9001 certified methodology.

Yphise, a leading independent analyst firm, evaluated the performance of five requirements management tools from different vendors using a list of more than 300 requirements in four categories. The categories were: 1) Lowering the cost and duration of projects; 2) Lowering the cost of application maintenance; 3) Maximizing the value of application development; and 4) Lowering the risk in application development and implementation.

As the award certificate states, ``DOORS stands out in all the assessment dimensions of our list of requirements. It provides the most complete and homogenous coverage of these dimensions. This outlines its maturity and reinforces its leadership. This makes it a perfect candidate for investment in requirements management." The full results of the evaluation were published in Yphise's 2005 report, "Requirements-driven Application Lifecycle Management."
