Microsoft goes headhunting
Sunday, 23 November, 2003
Microsoft Corp has snagged some Unified Modelling Language (UML) heavy hitters from partners IBM Corp and Rational Software, to help build a simplified framework for constructing workflows in .NET.
The company has recruited Jochen Seeman, who was responsible for product management of Rational's Rose and XDE modelling platforms, and Wojtek Kozaczynski, director of Rational architectures and application frameworks. Both share more than 30 years' experience, with Seeman involved in object orientation analysis and design, visual modelling, and Kozaczynski a noted UML author and specialist in building software. Additionally, Microsoft has snagged at least one UML expert from IBM itself. Rational, meanwhile, downplayed the losses, calling it "business as usual."
