Industry luminaries from Ravenflow and IBM discuss how integrating requirements authoring and validation with RequisitePro shortens the software development time-to-value

EMERYVILLE, CALIF.—September 5, 2007—Ravenflow, the only company delivering automated requirements validation for application development organizations, today announced that it will participate in the Webinar series Ready for IBM Rational Software Comes to You. The Webinar, which will be held on September 5 at noon PST, is entitled "The automated solution for authoring, validating and managing business requirements." It will address the importance of the requirements lifecycle in aligning IT and business objectives in order to deliver innovative, usable business applications on schedule and on budget.

Ravenflow experts will reveal how validating software requirements before development begins can prevent projects from being delivered late, over budget and without necessary business functionality.

The Webinar will include a live demo, giving participants a real-time look at the integrated requirements and development environment.
