Borland® StarTeam® Evaluation based on Completeness of Vision, Ability to Execute

Austin, Texas - Feb 15, 2008 : Borland Software Corporation (NASDAQ: BORL, www.borland.com), the global leader in Open Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the visionaries quadrant in the recently released “Magic Quadrant for Software Change and Configuration for Distributed Platforms, 2008” report.¹

Software change and configuration management (SCCM) products solve the traceability, accountability, and scale problems that challenge today’s software developers. Borland StarTeam is a fully integrated SCCM tool designed for both centralized and geographically distributed software development environments. A robust platform for coordinating and managing the entire software delivery process, Borland StarTeam promotes team communication and collaboration through centralized control of project activities and digital assets.

“In my opinion, our position in the visionaries quadrant of the Gartner SCCM report substantiates the outstanding technical elements of Borland StarTeam,” said Corné Human, director of product marketing for Borland. “StarTeam is hard to beat in terms of value for the money, ability to support distributed teams, ability to support agile teams, and ability to provide management oversight – all of which are key drivers for tools in the SCCM market today.”

Borland StarTeam is widely recognized for its support of a broad variety of platforms through the use of Java-based, cross-platform clients and for its ability to remotely cache content over the Web to provide high-quality performance for geographically distributed teams. In addition, Borland StarTeam offers a strong set of integration and migration points for complementary tools from both Borland and other vendors. This integration and migration strategy is fundamental to Borland’s Open ALM strategy.
