Therefore, Borland has chosen to focus wholly on its ALM business.

Segue's quality optimization products and services will add significantly to our growing portfolio of application lifecycle management solutions. This is a natural extension of our focus in helping customers move beyond development and into successful delivery of business value via critical software initiatives.

When you look at my career and what I've done, this is a natural, perfect fit.

Developers will always play an important role in the application lifecycle, but the ALM and IDE markets are very different - requiring distinct business models, different operational and marketing structures and a focused R&D team. Both markets are important, but Borland can no longer give both the resources and attention they require.

Joining Borland at this time is a tremendous opportunity. Software organizations are facing significant challenges in order to be more responsive to business needs and I believe Borland is the right company to help address these challenges.

This is a company with a rich history that is synonymous with application development, and has a strong vision for the future of software delivery.
