"Atego has been strongly committed to the Ada market for many years, in fact one of
its founders Jean Ichbiah (who created Aonix, which was acquired by Atego in 2010),
invented the Ada language. Ada technology is a significant part of Atego's revenues and
plays an important role in Atego's strategy," said Pierre Cesarini, CEO of Atego. "This
acquisition will add considerable breadth and depth to our solutions and services for
complex and embedded Ada development, reinforcing our position in the market and boosting
our potential for growth."
Atego is committed to continue its Ada investment in the future. Within its 150 strong
workforce, Atego has some of the leading expert Ada engineers in the world, making it an
industry leader for complex, mission- and safety-critical Ada tooling.
Under the terms of the agreement, Atego will acquire the Rational Ada Developer
product line, including all products and intellectual property. The IBM development and
support staff responsible for IBM Rational Ada Developer will join Atego. The acquisition
will see all of the IBM Rational Ada Developer employees integrated into Atego's global
business operations. Atego will rebrand the product family to' Atego ApexAda Developer'
and the core IDE product 'Rational Apex' to 'Atego Apex'.
The Atego ApexAda Developer family of host and embedded development environments for
Ada and mixed Ada/C/C++ applications provide a single, scalable environment for creating
and deploying multiplatform UNIX(R) and Linux(R) Ada applications. The Atego ApexAda
Developer embedded target environments combine the host environment with time-tested
embedded technology for host-to-target development of real-time embedded systems.
