Analysts perspective: A Recognized Industry Leader
"Telelogic Synergy achieves the highest rating in our ease of use category , while providing very advanced functionality. This makes Synergy an ideal choice for enterprise-wide deployment.“
Clive Burrows, Principal Analyst, Ovum.
“ Telelogic addresses CCM thoroughly with its Synergy and Change products, but the real emphasis that Butler Group believes the company now promotes, is the overall change process rather than just the tools. It is this process emphasis that customers will find valuable – although tools must be good and easy-to-use, if they do not have a wider framework to promote their use, they are unlikely to deliver their true value.”
- Butler Group analyst Teresa Jones
Technology Audit, Synergy 6.5 and Change 4.7, Butler Group, June 2007.
Telelogic Synergy Analyst Endorsements – Yphise
“ Synergy stands out in all four assessment dimensions
It provides the best coverage of our list of requirements. It ranks as the best software development management solution for the fourth consecutive time (2000, 2002, 2004 and 2007).
This demonstrates that Synergy is a comprehensive, mature and durable product.”
" Software Product Assessment – Software Development Management (SDM) ,” Yphise, July 2007
Synergy quick tour: CM Best Practice - Task-based CM
Task-based CM: a simple usage paradigm
Developers select a task in their To - Do list,
Check out/create & modify files
Complete the task
Task-based CM helps the developer
Avoids manual "check-ins" and similar annoying operations
Clear "To-do list" with priorities and navigation
Removes CM process overhead from developers daily activities
