Select Business Solutions™ Launches First Model
Driven ArchitectureÒ Solution
BOULDER, Colorado, May 7, 2004 - Select Solution for MDA(TM) can
Provide up to 80% of Model to Code Synchronization
Today Select Business Solutions announced the General Availability of
Select Solution for MDA, the newest in its line of successful and proven
development tools. Select Business Solutions has led the software design
and development industry for over 10 years with proven tools and solutions
for business process modeling, UML(R), data modeling, Component Based
Development (CBD), Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Software Reuse
/ Artifact Management.
Select Solution for MDA builds upon Select's proven UML modeling tools and
its CBD/SOA software development process while providing IT organizations
with platform independence, improved software application quality and
increased developer productivity. Remarkably, this is achieved by
utilizing preloaded transformations and patterns to generate up to 80% of
the code
"OMG is delighted to see that Select incorporates our Model Driven
Architecture standard in their new product, Select Solution for MDA," said
Richard Soley, Chairman and CEO, Object Management Group.
Select is committed to supporting and helping shape the MDA approach with
the OMG. Many of the concepts already familiar to Select customers, such
as distinct viewpoints and automated transformation are now embedded
within the MDA standard. Now an accredited MDA FastStart(TM) partner
Select has further cemented this already strong relationship. MDA
FastStart is a special program designed and managed by the OMG to help
information technology (IT) organizations become familiar with MDA
concepts and rapidly apply MDA to their mission-critical software
development activities.
"Select Solution for MDA is revolutionizing software development within IT
organizations by automatically sharing the knowledge of their architecture
specialists and giving them platform independent designs for today and the
future. Developers are able to automatically elaborate an abstract
business model into a platform and technology-specific design and even to
code. We have broken down the communication barriers between the business
and the software developers. Now businesses can ensure their IT developers
don't just build the systems right but that they build the right systems."
explains Hedley Apperly, SVP & General Manager, Select Business Solutions.
"Not only does Select Solution for MDA resolve this communication problem
but it also supports Component and Service Based Development. Select's
software asset repository continues to enable a Supplier/Consumer
development process with MDA firmly embedded" continues Apperly.
Select Solution for MDA is a groundbreaking modeling and transformation
tool designed to generate, reverse engineer and synchronize all your model
viewpoints and your code, based upon UML(TM) designs. Select Solution for
MDA helps ensure your Computation-Independent Model (CIM), Platform
Independent Model (PIM), Platform Specific Model (PSM) and code are all
synchronized and immediately ready to support ongoing development,
maintenance, enhancement and integration tasks. All the models and code
can be worked on in parallel, with simultaneous changes reconciled through
bi-directional synchronization.
Select Solution for MDA
- Speeds the development life cycle, automatically generating fully
specified models and code for languages such as Microsoft(R) Visual
Basic(R), Microsoft(R) Visual C++(R) and Microsoft(R) Visual C#(R).
- Allows you to get more code from your models so that time spent modeling
actually saves you programming.
- Provides architectural and technological independence, future proofing
your models and providing highly flexible solutions for the future.
- Closes the 'Technology Gap' between business people with their demands
and IT staff who deliver software solutions.
