Borland Software Corporation (NASDAQ:BORL), the global leader for Software Delivery Optimization, today announced that it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant of its Object-Oriented Analysis and Design (OOA&D) Tools, 2H06 to 1H07 Magic Quadrant(i) report. Gartner reports that OOA&D tools are now well into mainstream use, and expects continued growth in the number of industry licenses during the next two to five years. "We believe our positioning in the leaders quadrant highlights Borland's ongoing leadership in modeling, and is yet another recognition for Borland's ability to deliver products and solutions that support software teams throughout the software lifecycle," said Dave Hauck, director of product marketing, Borland. "The ease-of-use and completeness of Borland Together(R) enables organizations to implement strong modeling and visual design processes in their software efforts, which can significantly increase their ability to deliver high quality software." Borland's Together modeling suite helps bridge the gap between business and IT organizations through a common set of visual modeling languages, providing comprehensive application modeling support for business analysts, designers, architects and developers. With support for business process modeling, data modeling, application modeling and visualization, and comprehensive audits and metrics for both models and code, Together helps accelerate the delivery of adaptable, high-quality software applications. The latest release of the product which began shipping last week, Together 2006 for Visual Studio, is integrated with Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition. The release provides comprehensive modeling support for Visual Studio users including UML 2.0 diagramming, patterns, and Borland LiveSource((R)) capabilities for C# and Visual Basic languages. The Together technology also plays a key role within Borland's Requirements Definition and Management product suite, Caliber Analyst, providing business analysts with a visual way to define and storyboard business and technical requirements. The integration between Together and Caliber Analyst provides the ability to generate UML diagrams when eliciting requirements and then leverage these design assets in Together to drive software implementation and track design decisions back to the original requirements.
