LogicLibrary's Integrated Solutions Cited as Unique Combination for Effective SOA Governance; Independent Report By Industry Analyst Company Identifies LogicLibrary As The Only Vendor to Combine Software Asset Repositories and Code Analysis Tools

Business Wire, June 27, 2005

PITTSBURGH -- A new, independent report from industry analyst company The 451 Group highlights LogicLibrary(R), the leading provider of software development asset (SDA) management tools, as the only vendor to offer the unique combination of software asset repositories and code analysis tools for effective service-oriented governance. In the report, Logidex 3.6 and Logiscan 2.0 (formerly BugScan) are recognized as complementary tools for managing development assets and ensuring security in enterprise software development initiatives.

"The combination of Logidex with Logiscan makes sense. To govern development shops effectively, you need to know what has already been written - in order to avoid duplicating work - and you need to have some kind of assurance as to the quality of these assets - in order to avoid duplicating bugs," said Rachel Chalmers, Senior Analyst with The 451 Group, a technology industry analyst company focused on the business of enterprise IT innovation. In her report, Chalmers also said, "The company is obviously committed to having its solutions work together with leading development environments and with Web service management platforms." This comment appeared in an independent report, titled "LogicLibrary Complements Homegrown Repository with Static Analysis from BugScan," which was published on June 7 of this year (see Editor's Note below).

"LogicLibrary works hard to offer a comprehensive set of capabilities for identifying and eliminating software vulnerabilities at the earliest stages of application development and delivering secure, high-quality applications that can be confidently deployed in service-oriented architectures," said LogicLibrary CEO Greg Coticchia. "We are honored that the industry experts at The 451 Group have recognized Logidex and Logiscan for the unique value that they bring to the market."

Chalmers added in her report, "The scanning tool complements the repository by giving some assurance that bugs won't be replicated as code is reused. The company is obviously committed to providing the right hooks between products and into the rest of the software development infrastructure."
