Popkin's revenues for 2004 were $ 19.1 million and it had currently 108 employees. Telelogic has also launched a bid to buy Focal Software. With 26 employees, Focal Software develops and sells web-based solutions for decision support in product development and project portfolio analysis. Founded in 1983, Telelogic has currently more than 750 employees. Its main products are DOOR, a tool for requirements management, TAU dedicated to design, implementation & tests and SYNERGY for configuration management. With these acquisitions, Telelogic completes its product portfolio and expand its market opportunities. In this relatively good year for software development tools vendors, you can expect other acquisitions or mergers. In this case, Jan Popkin has found for his company a partner that will allow him to develop its product.
