Rationale Behind the Acquisition
  • Borland and Segue are joining forces to deliver a
    common vision of SDO. SDO is a solution strategy
    to transform software development from an
    unpredictable art form into a managed business
    process

    must master in order to achieve SDO and deliver
    high value software
  • IT Management and Governance
  • Requirements Definition and Management
  • Change Management
  • Lifecycle Quality Management (LQM) This is
    where Segue fits
  • With combined expertise, Borland and Segue are
    unmatched at helping customers with the critical
    process of LQM
  • Extremely synergistic messaging and visionboth
    visions focus on an integrated, collaborative,
    lifecycle approach to software quality

Why Segue?
  • Borland had no solution for lifecycle quality
    management
  • To date, Borland has filled the need through
    partnerships with Mercury and Compuware
  • Segue brings to Borland
  • Industry-leading technology
  • Software-quality focused expertise in sales,
    marketing, RD and services
  • Deep expertise in lifecycle quality
  • SQO Offers Borland greater market competitiveness
  • Segue is so significant to Borland, that the
    acquisition is viewed as 11 3
  • Together, we are a force to be reckoned with in
    the pre-deployment space
