Industry
The market for analysis & design software tools is estimated to exceed
$1.2 billion in 2000, compared with $250 million in 1996. Cayenne is
the leader in the market with a 19 percent share in 1996.
Business Overview
Cayenne is a world class provider of analysis and design software to
such leading software developers as Lucent Technologies, Lockheed
Martin, Chase Manhattan Bank and AT&T. These companies use
Cayenne design tools to create databases and data warehouses,
blueprint applications before development begins, engineer
technical-embedded real-time software and evolve to the
object-oriented development approach.
There are three methods of computer software analysis & design: data
driven, structured and object oriented. Object-oriented (O.O.) is the
newest method. Cayenne also is a major supplier of the other two
development approaches and is helping programmers convert to O.O.
Cayenne is the only analysis & design company which allows interplay
between all computer software analysis and design methods. Cayenne's
co-existence strategy of offering all approaches to work on the same
project at the same time is very user-friendly and unique. Instead of
forcing programmers to new approaches all at once, Cayenne allows
evolution. This means Cayenne's customers don't have to discard their
previous methodologies and systems; they can co-exist and gradually
migrate to O.O.
Another major differentiation is scalability for collaborative team
development requiring multi-user support. Cayenne's industrial strength
and strong global customer support capability make it the clear vendor
of choice for the larger development projects.
Marketing
Cayenne has a national and international sales force as well as
subsidiaries throughout Europe, Asia and South America and
distributors in East & West Europe, the Middle East, Latin America
and Asia. A direct sales effort is supplemented by alternate channels of
distribution to include system integrators, telesales and the Internet.
Cayenne's products are sold and serviced in over 60 countries.
Fifty-five percent of Cayenne's revenues are generated outside of North
America.
Technical Support and Professional Services
Cayenne's technical and commercial application specialists form
strategic alliances with leading customers. They help software groups
solve problems before they occur, and assist the client in developing
the most effective software solution.
Markets and Customers
For technical-embedded applications, Cayenne has penetrated the
military/aerospace, telecommunications, electrical manufacturing,
automotive, software and system integration industries.
For management information systems applications, Cayenne has
achieved a significant presence inside the financial services,
telecommunications, utilities, retail, government and global
manufacturing industries.
Cayenne lists as its customers more than 2,000 global industry leaders
including Motorola, AT&T, NASA, Chase Manhattan Bank, IBM,
General Motors, Whirlpool, NASDAQ, Barclays and Hertz.
