Borland Software Corporation (NASDAQ:BORL) (www.borland.com), a global leader in Open Application Lifecycle Management (ALM), today announced that Style Crest, Inc., a leading manufacturer, distributor and installer of products to the manufactured housing industry, has selected Borland® Tempo? to increase visibility and control over IT projects and facilitate greater organizational alignment around IT priorities and resource allocation.

With over 35 years of experience as a leading provider of products to the housing and building products industry, Style Crest understands the needs of its customers and knows how to assist them in taking advantage of the industry's growth and evolving service needs. In order to continue to service its customers in ways that exceed their expectations, Style Crest recognized that it needed to more effectively leverage and align IT with business goals.

To address this critical business challenge, Style Crest chose to implement Borland Tempo, the cornerstone of Borland's IT Project and Portfolio Management solution, to help the company gain better visibility and control over IT project selection, execution and status. Borland Tempo will provide Style Crest with a complete, collaborative IT project and portfolio management system that enables users to incrementally adopt more efficient processes for collecting, evaluating and selecting which projects take priority based on strategic value, impact on the business and resource availability.

?Aligning goals and objectives across the company's various lines of business with overall IT project demands is perhaps the most challenging task we face,? said Doug Mikaelian, Director of IT at Style Crest. ?We chose Borland Tempo for its ability to enable both business and IT to improve project-related decision-making and resource allocation based on real-time data and actionable insights. Our ultimate goal is to allow IT to more effectively prioritize and execute on the critical projects that enable the business to better serve the needs of our customers.?

Borland Tempo will provide Style Crest with a single repository for managing IT demand pipeline, which can include both small projects and major investment proposals at any one time. Borland Tempo's IT demand management capabilities will enable Style Crest to adopt a more collaborative decision-making process between both business and IT through improved visibility and centralized data collection. Borland Tempo will allow users to view and analyze project data in real-time and facilitate better allocation of resources for a more balanced IT project portfolio.

Style Crest chose Borland Tempo over competing solutions due to the product's functional breadth and depth, flexibility, scalability and lowest total-cost-of-ownership. The product's ease-of-use and ability to integrate with Style Crest's existing investments in tools and technologies were also keys to its selection.
