Rosetta Biosoftware Leverages Borland Application Lifecycle
Management (ALM) Products to Help Customers Reduce the Time and Cost
of Drug Development

New System Developed with Borland Tools Used by the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration's Center for Drug Evaluation, Pharmaceutical
Companies, Premier Academic Institutions and Service Providers

Borland Software Corporation (Nasdaq:BORL), the global leader for
Software Delivery Optimization (SDO), announced today that Rosetta
Biosoftware is using Borland's Application Lifecycle Management
(ALM) products to deliver well-defined, well-documented, high-
quality software for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries.
Rosetta Biosoftware leverages Borland's tightly integrated CaliberRM
(R), StarTeam(R) and Together(R) products along with the company's
Consulting and Education Services to manage its critical software
development processes. In recognition of its use of information
technology to benefit society, Rosetta Biosoftware was recently
named an IDG Computerworld Honors Program Laureate.

Rosetta Biosoftware is currently using Borland's ALM products to
streamline and automate the processes of requirements management,
software change and configuration management as well as visual
modeling and architectural design. The processes are critical to the
ongoing development of its flagship product, the Rosetta Resolver(R)
system.

The Rosetta Resolver system offers life science researchers an
analysis and data management framework for gene expression which can
minimize costly and time-intensive downstream drug development. Life
science research organizations that have licensed the system include
many of the top pharmaceutical companies from around the world, as
well as premier academic institutions and service providers.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Drug
Evaluation and Research (CDER) and National Center for Toxicological
Research (NCTR) are currently using the Rosetta Resolver system as
one of several platforms for the analysis of data submitted through
Voluntary Genomics Data Submissions (VGDS), through which microarray
data are submitted from companies engaged in drug development. Gene
expression data analysis is playing an increasing role in
pharmaceutical and biotech drug development in areas such as
toxicogenomics, clinical studies and molecular diagnostics. These
data open new opportunities to better understand diseases and
develop safer drugs more quickly.

Rosetta Biosoftware's primary goal is to empower researchers in drug
discovery and development to conduct cutting-edge research for
improving the quality of human life. Because its customers rely on
the Resolver system to enable the drug discovery process, they need
confidence in the software's accuracy and its ability to reproduce
analysis results. Customers also need confidence in Rosetta's
methods for developing and validating the software, which means
those development and validation methods must be transparent and
well-documented.

"Early on we realized we needed a comprehensive ALM solution like
the one Borland provides us to integrate, automate and document our
core development processes," explained Jim Pearson, manager of
quality assurance at Rosetta Biosoftware. "The life sciences
industry rapidly changes as information technology is applied to
more areas of research. It is imperative that we're able to quickly
deliver new features and functionality to address this rapidly
evolving market. To do that we needed a powerful but flexible system
that can support our rigorous requirements and easily adapt to our
methodologies."

Integrated ALM Products Help Increase Predictability of Software
Delivery

Rosetta Biosoftware leverages the tightly integrated and
customizable Borland CaliberRM technology to automate its specific
requirements processes and to track requirements from elicitation
through final delivery. Once the business, technical, functional and
operational requirements are entered into the Borland CaliberRM
system, stakeholders across the organization can easily map their
individual efforts back to the requirements and collaborate with
each other more effectively.

In addition, Borland StarTeam provides a robust platform for the
entire software delivery process. It promotes team communication and
collaboration through automated workflows and centralized control of
all project assets. Rosetta Biosoftware also enables its customers
to leverage this system to enter escalation and enhancement requests
for the Resolver product, and then extract web pages to view the
progress of their change requests.

The Rosetta Biosoftware team is also using Borland Together to help
bridge the communication gap between business and IT stakeholders.
Using this common set of visual modeling languages, Rosetta
Biosoftware is able to more accurately and efficiently define the
next release of the Resolver system. With support for business
process modeling, data modeling, application modeling and
visualization, and comprehensive audits and metrics for both models
and code, Borland Together helps the Rosetta's development team
accelerate delivery of a high-quality solution.
