Chrysler chooses IntelliCorp for object-oriented design and becomes 500th licensee of Object Management Workbench; 1000th OMW sales milestone expected by mid 1995.MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 19, 1995--Scarcely a year after introducing the Object Management Workbench (OMW OMW On My Way OMW Object Management Workbench (IntelliCorp) OMW Oh My Word OMW One Microsoft Way (address) OMW Oberbaumesswagen (German) OMW Oh My Wow ), IntelliCorp (Nasdaq:INAI) has delivered the 500th license of the product to Chrysler Corporation, Centerline cen·ter·line n. 1. A line that bisects something into equal parts. 2. A painted line running along the center of a road or highway that divides it into two sections for traffic moving in opposite directions, or, in the case of , Michigan. Chrysler is using the product on its new payroll system as an object model design aid and repository. Additionally, Chrysler will use the event diagram animation feature as part of its effort to reengineer payroll operations; Chrysler's new payroll system will migrate from host-centric to a client/server deployment. Another effort is underway within Chrysler's Advanced Software Technology group to evaluate the capabilities of OMW/Kappa as a full-lifecycle object- oriented development environment. Introduced in March 1994, OMW has several distinctive features, including the ability to draw models that are instantly executable. In a dramatic difference from older-style CASE tools, all OMW diagrams and models are active and executable at every stage of the development process, and support incremental modification to those models. Thus, OMW directly supports rapid application development, with a focus on business modeling rather than system modeling. OMW is an open design environment. The generated applications can work with other IntelliCorp tools or those of other suppliers. With typical installations, OMW applications are constructed with Kappa, IntelliCorp's visual development environment. Chrysler said the choice of a development tool would be made at a later date. "That's a strength of an open platform, allowing a user to choose the most suitable tools," said Tom Hadfield Tom Hadfield (born 1982 in Wakefield, England) created Soccernet, a sports Internet company that was sold to ESPN for $40 million when he was 17 years old. [1] Two years later, he and his father were able to raise millions of dollars to launch the education website , Manager of Application Development in Chrysler's Corporate Systems. "Rapid development of object applications from analysis through implementation will be especially useful to us as we move forward," said Tom Hadfield. "Chrysler has committed to client/server computing, and object-oriented analysis and design Object-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) is a software engineering approach that models a system as a group of interacting objects. Each object represents some entity of interest in the system being modeled, and is characterised by its class, its state (data elements), and its is a key tool to implement this on an enterprise-wide scale. We are experienced in Information Engineering; the move to OMW, based on object-oriented information engineering, was a natural evolution for us." Ken Haas, president of IntelliCorp, said, "Object-Oriented Information Engineering (OOIE OOIE Object-Oriented Information Engineering (Martin/Odell) ) is a robust addition to the software development environment in large enterprises today, and is an evolutionary step forward for MIS shops familiar with traditional Information Engineering. OMW, with its executable models, is best of breed for OOIE. The acceptance of OMW is gratifying grat·i·fy tr.v. grat·i·fied, grat·i·fy·ing, grat·i·fies 1. To please or satisfy: His achievement gratified his father. See Synonyms at please. 2. , and initial sales are being met with additional licenses in many installations." As a result, Haas added, "we believe we will be able to report our 1,000th license by June 1995, the end of our current fiscal year." The OMW initiative will entail two teams of developers. As a policy, Chrysler does not discuss the financial details of specific contracts. Other OMW customers include GTE GTE General Telephone & Electronics GTE Génie Thermique et Énergie (French) GTE Gas Turbine Engine GTE Global Tropospheric Experiment GTE Geothermal Energy GTE Gas Turbine Efficiency plc (Sweden & USA) , NTT NTT Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation NTT New Technology Telescope NTT National Technology Transfer, Inc NTT Name That Tune (TV game show) NTT National Tree Trust NTT Number Theoretic Transform , U.S. West, Airtouch, Pacific Bell, British Telecom The telephone and communications carrier that provides services in Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It used to be a division of the British Post Office, but was privatized in 1984 under Margaret Thatcher's administration. , General Motors, Boeing, Philip Morris, A.C. Nielsen, CSC, U.S. Navy, PHH PHH Provinciale Handelsschool Hasselt (school) PHH Pasukan Anti Huru-Hara (Anti Riot Task Force) PHH Phillips Head (screw) PHH Planar Halogenated Hydrocarbon , Prudential Assurance, and Ing Bank. IntelliCorp estimated that there are more than 10,000 developers and 40,000 end-users of the company's products worldwide, today. The cost of a single-user license typically ranges from $10,000 to $25,000, depending on options; volume discounts are available. IntelliCorp develops and markets object-oriented software for the design, development, and delivery of scalable client/server applications. The company's family of products is enriched by more than twelve years of experience in object-oriented development technology and knowledge systems applications. In 1994, IntelliCorp introduced the next generation of analysis and design software, the Object Management Workbench, developed in conjunction with James Martin James Martin or Jim Martin may refer to: Politicians:
