LAFAYETTE, CALIFORNIA ,June 24, 2009 - TechExcel, Inc., a leading provider of Application Lifecycle Management, today announced that it was named to the 2009 SD Times 100, the seventh annual compilation of elite companies, organizations, and individuals recognized for leadership and innovation in the software development industry. The award was published in the June 15, 2009, edition of BZ Media’s SD Times, and also on www.sdtimes.com.

Using DevSuite 7.0, organizations can both speed up development processes, and minimize risk by proactively defining and managing software requirements throughout the entire development lifecycle. DevSuite transforms complex methodologies into simple and controlled daily practices through workflow controls, definable user interfaces, process automation rules, auto routing, auto escalation, and email notifications. Visibility, traceability, and validation can now be enforced throughout the entire development lifecycle, without adding costly overhead, or reducing agility. "The software development industry has always been led by innovation, and that’s true even in today’s challenging economic climate" said Alan Zeichick, Editorial Director of BZ Media's SD Times. "When choosing the 2009 SD Times 100 winners, we carefully considered each organization's products and services, reputation with enterprise development managers, and the new ideas and thought leadership that it has brought to the industry. Thanks to companies like TechExcel, the art of software development continues to advance at a rapid pace." "We are honored to be recognized by SD Times as a leader in the Application Lifecycle Management Market,” said Tieren Zhou, Founder, CEO and Chief Architect, TechExcel. “This award highlights TechExcel’s commitment to create innovative tools that offer a unified development management process for organizations large or small.” TechExcel's Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) solutions enable enterprises to focus on their strategic goals of product design, project planning, development and testing by providing a collaborative and "knowledge-centric" environment. Traditional approaches to ALM stipulate that every phase of software development - from product concept to strategy, planning to implementation, and finally to verification and delivery - rely on separate tools and processes. TechExcel DevSuite is built around the best-practices insight that knowledge is central to any product development initiative. By eliminating the silos of knowledge that exist between different teams and in different locales, DevSuite helps enterprises dramatically transform their development processes, increasing both the efficiency and overall quality of their end products. This strategy helps teams communicate better and reduce their cycle times, allowing the right products for the right markets to be developed in the shortest possible time.
