COMPANIES ATTRIBUTE SUCCESS TO DATABASE TECHNOLOGY.

Telelogic (Stockholm Stock Exchange:TLOG), a provider of solutions for advanced software and systems development, has announced that Pervasive Software(R) Inc. (Nasdaq:PVSW), a provider of embedded and Web database software and services, has chosen Telelogic CM Synergy(TM) as a base for the development efforts of Pervasive.SQL(TM), a database technology that powers business-critical applications.

CM Synergy, in combination with ChangeSynergy(TM), will provide a proven and scalable enterprise-wide configuration and change management (CCM) process along with the ability to easily record, track and respond to any type of change request generated from both internal and external customer sources via the Web.

Developers worldwide depend on Pervasive Software(R) for its easy-to-use, high-performance database engines that dramatically lower the total cost of ownership for packaged business solutions and Internet applications. Pervasive's database technology radically simplifies the development, deployment and maintenance of applications across an array of platforms.

In addition to the key requirement that the solution be process-oriented, it was necessary that the CCM system be a reliable, scalable one that would fit well with Pervasive's overall software engineering practices. As a result, Pervasive spent several months on an exhaustive search to replace the existing CCM tool, evaluating several companies prior to choosing Telelogic.

"Many companies worldwide attribute their success to Pervasive and the database technology it provides. When the decision was made to add a CCM solution, we looked for one that would give us better control of our development process and was quick to deploy. After interviewing several Telelogic customers, it became clear that Telelogic has a reputation for both superior service and a high degree of reliability," said Gary Allison, vice president of engineering at Pervasive Software.

"We are looking forward to working with Telelogic, a growing company that is clearly committed to providing its customers with integrated open software development lifecycle solutions."

"With a worldwide client base, Pervasive set high expectations for what they needed in a CCM solution. Reliability and control, along with products that align with their engineering vision were absolute requirements," said Paul Van Den Berg, vice president marketing, Americas at Telelogic. "The need for flexibility and control over the development process are key capabilities provided by CM Synergy and ChangeSynergy that will improve the productivity of Pervasive's development team."
