<< Richard-Algirdas added this. Is this a fair statement that you are
willing to adopt?>>
&&&Above and following are my
suggestions. Let me know…&&&
No Magic, Inc. and Interactive Objects have both become top
players in the global league of software development tool vendors. “The combined value of both products
yields the tremendous
synergies of MDA
with UML to the software developer,” stated Victoria Girdziunas,
President of No Magic, Inc. “ArcStyler provides a multiple platform
code generation and deployment frameworkcontinues to provide the
leading MDA capabilities it is known for; MagicDraw provides an
unparalleled UML modeling tool, a critical component of an the MDA development
process. The tight integration of
the two products, both of which comply with OMG’s standards, represents a
significant advance in the software development tool marketplace.” Ms. Girdziunas continued, “The move to
MDA (model driven architecture) represents
a new paradigm in the world of software development with the result being
significant cuts in software development time and expense while at the same
time delivering higher quality applications. The integrated product allows platform independent modeling
and cross platform architectural reuse.
Overall, users of the integrated product will enjoy lower application
life-cycle costs than they would if they were using the
products separatelywithout MDA.”

OMG members, I don’t have a relationship with dr. Solley, and it appears that
i/O does. >> &&&OK, I can try this but it may slow us down.
We’ll see.&&&
