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 http://www.arizonabiotech.com/ 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. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/biotech-news/ 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.
