PITTSBURGH -- LogicLibrary Recognized for its "Rich History of Innovation" in Making Ground-breaking Improvements with Logidex

A new report from independent analyst firm CBDI highlights LogicLibrary(R), the leading provider of software development asset (SDA) management tools, for its comprehensive approach to simplifying the complex task of component-based development (CBD) and management. In the report Software Development Asset Management with LogicLibrary Logidex, CBDI distinguishes LogicLibrary's Logidex for its model-based, graphical approach to capturing and cataloging SDAs. The report appears in the June 2005 edition of CBDI Journal and is also available at http://www.logiclibrary.com.

"While component- and service-based approaches simplify assembly and consumption, the overall complexity of software delivery and management has increased by an order of magnitude. LogicLibrary demonstrates a comprehensive approach to managing this hugely complex task," said Lawrence Wilkes, principal analyst at CBDI. "We are particularly impressed with the domain modeling and classification capabilities which we believe are essential to support a complex development environment. The new features in Logidex 3.6, such as Smart Controls(TM), add to its capabilities to discover, document and publish software development assets and enable reuse by improving the governance of the software development lifecycle."

"With the introduction of Smart Controls, LogicLibrary has continued its rich history of innovation in making ground-breaking improvements in how organizations actively manage software development assets in SOAs, Web services and other software development initiatives," said LogicLibrary CEO Greg Coticchia. "We are flattered that a prestigious think-tank of CBDI's caliber has taken notice of our governance platform. Some of the world's leading enterprises are using LogicLibrary to govern and secure their software assets."

CBDI advises on the importance of SDA management to support CBD and SOA. The CBDI report states, "In the federated development environment the separation between service providers and service consumers needs automated asset lifecycle management to ensure that requirements for business and IT governance are met across all participants. Smart Controls enable an organization to improve governance by defining their asset governance process to better control how, when and which assets are approved."

The most widely-used metadata repository for SDAs, Logidex is the only SDA management product to feature tight integration with the industry's major development environments, including Eclipse, IBM WebSphere Studio, IBM Rational Application Developer, Software Modeler and Software Architect, Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, Borland JBuilder and SAP NetWeaver.
