Free Modeling Tool Helps Organizations Improve Development Process While, Reducing Costs and Time-to-Market

SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. - Jul 27, 2004 : Borland® Software Corporation (NASDAQ: NM: BORL) today announced the first release of Borland Together® Designer Community Edition, a platform, language and IDE agnostic modeling application designed to provide a superior modeling environment for creating industry-standard Unified Modeling Language™ (UML®) diagrams. This release provides architects, business analysts and developers an easier, way to achieve some of the benefits of modeling at no-cost.

In an increasingly complex and competitive global marketplace, software architects, development managers and designers know that they must be equipped to respond rapidly to, and even anticipate, changes in business requirements and IT infrastructure. Modeling helps developers to understand and communicate the inherently complex relationships found in both enterprise and application architectures. Organizations that adopt modeling often realize immediate benefits via improved communications, planning and project predictability, cost efficiencies, time-to-market and overall software quality. The Together Designer Community Edition modeling tool is designed to provide an easier, inexpensive solution to help organizations maintain their software infrastructure and systems ahead of new market opportunities.
