Borland to concentrate on ALM

Infoworld has interviewed Erik Frieberg, vice president of Borland product marketing and strategy, about the company's intentions, and to get a progress report on the planned sale of Borland's developer tool lines.

It's not that the Java IDE or the Delphi IDE is bad business, it's [that] our focus is on ALM (Application Lifecycle Management). I heard a great analogy: Armies tend to fight a lot better when you burn the bridges behind them. And so, by getting focused on the ALM lifecycle, it gives Borland just [a] clear focus on what we need to be successful at.
