Borland Software Corporation today announced Borland Enterprise Studio for Windows (the Studio), a new, tightly integrated suite of powerful, industry-leading products. Designed for enterprises that require rich UML modelling capabilities for development and a secure and reliable deployment platform, the Studio provides a complete design-to-deployment solution for the Windows platform.
The Studio integrates best-in-class products from industry-leading vendors into one complete Model-Driven Architecture (MDA) environment aimed to reduce total cost of ownership, speed time to market and maintain design integrity throughout the development process. MDA is a framework that enables applications to rapidly evolve in response to business and industry changes, providing faster turn-around times in adopting new technology or business practices.
Bundling Borland Delphi 6, Rational Rose and Bold for Delphi from BoldSoft, the Studio delivers first-class design and modelling capabilities. It also includes a development licence for Borland Enterprise Server, Web Edition, and is optionally bundled with Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev 4. With the Studio, companies can streamline the modelling, development and deployment of advanced enterprise applications to build applications that are easier to manage and maintain throughout their lifecycle.
"Borland Enterprise Studio for Windows and the BoldSoft system development software have increased our application development tenfold, dramatically reduced costs, and ultimately improved the robustness and stability of the Parliament`s document management system," said Lars Hellstrom, senior project manager at the Swedish Parliament.
"With Borland Enterprise Studio for Windows, Borland is providing for the first time a broad range of functions for Windows development and deployment from a single vendor," said Manoli Rodokanakis, Country Manager for Borland Southern Africa. "The Studio enables companies to respond to accelerated development cycles while reducing the risks inherent in today`s Internet environment by providing the option of deployment to secure and reliable Web servers."
Borland Enterprise Studio for Windows:
* Borland Delphi 6 Enterprise -- With Borland Delphi 6, the first rapid application development environment for Windows to support new and emerging Web Services, corporate or individual developers can create sophisticated e-business applications quickly and easily. Delphi 6, with full support for Web Services standards XML, SOAP, XSL and WSDL, enables immediate and ongoing integration with emerging Web Services platforms such as .Net and BizTalk from Microsoft, and ONE from Sun Microsystems.
* Borland Enterprise Server, Web Edition -- Borland Enterprise Server, Web Edition, is a complete, scalable and robust deployment platform for Web applications. The Web Edition integrates the Borland Web Server, based on Apache technology, with Delphi technologies, making it an ideal deployment platform for Web applications and services designed with the Studio. Borland Enterprise Server is built on Borland VisiBroker, the most widely deployed CORBA solution on the market.
* Rational Rose Professional Data Modeller Edition -- Rational Rose, the industry-leading modelling tool for development, combines the modelling environment with the development environment, using the standard UML to model both business processes and applications logic. Rational Rose Professional Data Modeller Edition allows database designers, business analysts and developers to work together as a team, using one common language.
* Rational Unified Process -- The Rational Unified Process (RUP) is a Web-enabled software engineering process that enhances team productivity by providing extensive guidelines, templates and examples for critical development activities.
* Bold for Delphi -- Bold for Delphi delivers a powerful Model-Driven Architecture business object framework which links the UML modelling environment in Rational Rose to the applications design environment in Delphi.
* Macromedia Dreamweaver UltraDev 4 (available as an optional component) -- Dreamweaver UltraDev 4 is a customisable, visual environment for professional Web development that accelerates development with code-friendly features and a simultaneous split pane view of code and design, where changes made to one are immediately demonstrated in the other. With UltraDev, developers can quickly make design changes, integrate business objects and create menus and buttons with Macromedia Flash.
