RAVENFLOW ANNOUNCES SUPPORT FOR IBM RATIONAL REQUIREMENTS COMPOSER

RAVEN to integrate with the IBM Jazz-based offering for Requirements Definition and Management

Orlando, FL, at the Rational Software Developers Conference.—June 2, 2008—Ravenflow, a leader in Rapid Requirements Definition™, today announced that its RAVEN software for requirements elicitation and definition will be integrated with IBM Rational Requirements Composer, targeted for release later this year. Previews of the software will be demonstrated at the conference, starting today.

“Getting requirements correct in the early stages of development is key to shorter development cycles, less rework, and greater user satisfaction," said Michael Loria, vice president of business development, IBM Rational Software. "The integration of RAVEN with IBM Rational Requirements Composer will provide customers with automated validation and visualization in their software development lifecycle processes, ultimately reducing saving project time and costs.”

“Enabling the business team to collaborate better with the development team makes requirements definition accessible to a wider audience and improves business driven development,” said Susan Boers, president and chief executive officer of Ravenflow. “The integration of RAVEN with IBM Rational Requirements Composer will help organizations deliver applications to the market faster.”

IBM Rational Requirements Composer will help software delivery teams gain consensus on how a project should be designed using familiar business artifacts such as storyboards, sketches, scenarios and models. IBM Rational Requirements Composer is one of the first new IBM Jazz-based products being announced at the IBM Rational Software Development Conference that will transform how organizations will collaborate in the future.

Ravenflow will be demonstrating the integration of its award-winning RAVEN software with the early releases of IBM Rational Requirements Composer at its booth at the IBM Rational Software Development Conference. Ravenflow, recently named the fastest growing requirements solution vendor by IDC, is also announcing integration with the latest version of IBM Rational RequisitePro at the conference.
