Sparx Systems Releases New Modeling Tools for Business, Software and Systems

CRESWICK, AUSTRALIA, Apr 20 (MARKET WIRE) --
Sparx Systems (www.sparxsystems.com), a leading vendor of modeling tools
based on UML and related standards, today announced the immediate
availability of three new editions and a major update of its award
winning UML based modeling and design tool, Enterprise Architect 7.5.

Enterprise Architect has firmly established an enviable reputation as a
reliable, cost-effective modeling and design solution for a wide range of
business, software and systems projects around the world. User case
studies, available from Sparx Systems' website, attest to the success and
benefits that modeling can bring to complex and difficult projects. Now,
Sparx Systems has released a major upgrade which significantly expands
the toolbox of modelers and designers, delivers an enhanced user
experience and provides new ways to analyze, design, manage, construct,
test and deploy a wide range of solutions.

Sparx Systems has also introduced three new editions of Enterprise
Architect targeting the Business community, Software developers and
Systems/Hardware designers. In addition to adding domain targeted
executable code generation from UML Behavioral and Rule-based models,
BPEL generation from BPMN 1.1 models, support for VHDL and Verilog, and
SysML Parametric simulation, these new "Suite" editions include numerous
plug-ins from Sparx Systems range of MDG Technologies, such as SysML,
DDS, DoDAF, TOGAF and MODAF - and feature tight integration with the
latest versions of Eclipse and Microsoft Visual Studio.

The familiar editions of Enterprise Architect (Desktop, Professional and
Corporate) have been significantly reworked and variously include major
performance increases for widely dispersed teams, enhanced drawing
capabilities, new scripting capabilities, improved document generation,
better integrated test and maintenance systems and many other updates
which refine and streamline the user experience.

"It is a real pleasure to see this version and the new editions of
Enterprise Architect released." said Geoffrey Sparks, CEO of Sparx
Systems. "The practical and successful application of UML and other
technologies to a wide range of business, software and systems
engineering domains continues to prove the value of Model Driven
Development and the Enterprise Architect toolset."

Version 7.5 represents a major milestone for Sparx Systems, the release
of the new editions providing high-end functionality at a cost-effective
price point, and the major enhancements to the standard editions
delivering robust, quality modeling tools to the general software,
business and systems communities.
