Telelogic, a provider of software solutions for Enterprise Lifecycle Management (ELM), has announced that the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS), has signed a corporate five-year license, maintenance and service agreement with the company.

The new agreement was negotiated within the frame of the EADS corporate initiative PHENIX (Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) Harmonization for ENhanced Integration and eXcellence) and includes and expands all pre-existing contracts between EADS Divisions and Telelogic. Within PHENIX, the company standardises its requirements definition, analysis and management processes using a backbone solution built upon Telelogic DOORS.

"Requirements Management represents one of several key technical areas of focus in PHENIX. EADS not only needed an industry supplier who understands the challenges faced in customer/supplier relationships in the aerospace and defense markets, but also a strategic partner offering a strong and tailored product portfolio" said Jean-Yves Mondon, Head of the PHENIX program. "Telelogic solutions and business approach satisfies both of these needs."

"We are very pleased to have signed this deal with EADS and we appreciate their recognition of our ability to strategically support the PHENIX Program," said Sidharth Malik, Managing Director India of Telelogic. "The agreement further strengthens our relationship with a global leader in the aerospace and defense industry and this is another endorsement of Telelogic´s ability to deliver against the business goals of this most demanding market."
