SteelTrace Expands Requirements Capture Tool Suite with the Release of Catalyze LT

http://www.steeltrace.com/images/logo.jpg" border="0" align=left>Washington, DC - January 31, 2003 - SteelTrace today announces the release of Catalyze LT, a software tool that models and captures requirements for IT and manufacturing projects. Catalyze LT is part of the company's expanded requirements capture product line that also includes Catalyze Professional (formerly Catalyze Solo) and Catalyze Enterprise (formerly Catalyze Collaborate).

"Catalyze LT is ideal for users looking for a simple but effective tool for documenting and modelling system requirements. There is virtually no lead time between opening Catalyze LT for the first time and using it effectively," said Sheldon Porter, Executive Vice President at Plant-Wide Research. "Catalyze LT is by far the most user-friendly tool of its kind on the market."

Steeltrace customers are diverse and include single users, small businesses and large enterprises. "With the introduction of Catalyze LT, SteelTrace now offers a broad range of requirements modelling, capture and documentation tools. Whether you are an independent contractor or a large enterprise designing complex systems, SteelTrace offers a requirements modelling tool that will meet your needs," said Mark Melville, SteelTrace CEO.

SteelTrace's suite of requirements capture tools now includes:

1. Catalyze LT, a low-cost tool designed for small projects comprised of no more than a handful of core requirements. Catalyze LT is ideal for individuals who want to rapidly model and capture project requirements or processes for smaller projects and output simple, non-customized documentation.
   
2. Catalyze Professional, designed for larger projects where requirements may need categorisation into different packages. This type of project may have multiple stakeholders who all need access to the common requirements base, and where project versioning is key in incremental review cycles. Catalyze Professional integrates seamlessly with leading UML modelling tools Rational Rose and Togethersoft Control Center, and augments leading requirements management tools such as Rational RequisitePro.
   
3. Catalyze Enterprise, designed for teams who are collaborating on requirements modelling and capture by updating and sharing a project. Catalyze Enterprise lets multiple users simultaneously work on a project or project package. Catalyze Enterprise also supports the multiple loading of repository projects, a powerful concurrency mechanism, the ability to go 'offline' and the ability for users to reconcile offline changes back into the master project. Catalyze Enterprise provides all the functionality of Catalyze Professional, including integrating projects with UML modelling and requirements management tools.
