RAVENFLOW OFFERS WELCOME PACKAGE TO BORLAND CALIBER AND COMPUWARE OPTIMAL TRACE CUSTOMERS AND PARTNERS

Customers can evaluate RAVEN for their business requirements with no obligation

EMERYVILLE, CA—May 7, 2009—Ravenflow™, the leader in Business Requirements Definition™, today announced that it will offer special evaluation packages to Borland(BORL) and Compuware(CPWR) customers who switch to RAVEN, the company's award-winning business requirements definition software. By adopting RAVEN, customers will empower their business analysts to dramatically transform the way they elicit, specify, and validate stakeholder requirements so projects can be delivered faster, at less cost, and with greater user satisfaction.

"Our customers and prospects are looking for vendors and partners with a clear vision and a product roadmap they can commit to. With the future of Borland’s and Compuware's requirements products under transition, we welcome their customers and prospects who are now seeking alternatives," said Susan Boers, president and CEO of Ravenflow. "We invite all Borland Caliber and Compuware Optimal Trace customers to try a 30-day evaluation of RAVEN, including complementary Power Hour training, free of charge with no obligation."

Using RAVEN, business analysts and other team members can rapidly visualize and validate requirements, build team consensus, and produce clear specifications of their business process workflows, business use cases, and business application needs. Based upon patented language processing technology, RAVEN allows business people to describe their needs in plain English, then automatically identifies missing requirements while generating visual process and use case diagrams that all stakeholders can understand. With its distinctive business orientation and process-based approach to requirements definition, RAVEN is uniquely suited for use on both enterprise process improvement and application development projects. RAVEN Professional and the new Microsoft Word Add-On, RAVEN Express, are both available under this unique program.
