This is good. Today's news (a total of 6 news releases actually, including release of new version of Rational Rose): Rational Software Announces Rational Suite Trade-Up Program For Customers; Program Lets Customers Leverage Their Investment to Acquire Rational Suite PR Newswire - January 19, 1999 08:22 CUPERTINO, Calif., Jan. 19 /PRNewswire/ -- In conjunction with today's introduction of Rational Suite, Rational Software Corporation (Nasdaq: RATL) also announces the Rational Suite trade-up program that allows Rational(R) customers to "trade-up" eligible Rational products toward a discounted purchase of Rational Suite. The Rational Suite trade-up program makes it easy for Rational's customers to leverage their investment in Rational's products and realize the benefits of Rational Suite for an economical price. Rational Suite is the industry's first, multi-platform line of product suites that addresses the problems in team development resulting from using disparate, non-integrated tools. Rational Suite features a new Team Integration Architecture that tightly integrates updated versions of 10 Rational products, including Rational Rose(R), Rational TeamTest and Rational Requisite(R)Pro. The new product is available in four editions -- Rational Suite AnalystStudio, Rational Suite DevelopmentStudio, Rational Suite TestStudio and Rational Suite Enterprise. For information on each edition see today's new release headlined: Rational Software Unifies Software Teams with the Delivery of Rational Suite. Rational customers can trade-up any eligible Rational product under a current support agreement towards the discounted purchase of any Rational Suite that contains that product. For example, a license of Rational Rose Enterprise can be traded up for a discounted purchase of Rational Suite DevelopmentStudio or Rational Suite Enterprise. Every Rational Suite acquired through the Rational Suite trade-up program includes a full year of support.
