Krugle, which offers code search technology, has brought aboard several former Borland Software officials, Krugle said on Wednesday.

Former Borland CEO Dale Fuller has been added to Krugle’s board of directors. Also, Matt Graney, who was a product management official at Borland, has joined Krugle as senior director of product management.

Mike Rich, a former sales director for Borland, is now Krugle vice president of sales. Former Borland engineer Rashmi Jagada is now working for Krugle as a senior software engineer.

Borland has shifted its emphasis from software development tools to the application lifecycle space. But Krugle’s hirings do not mean Krugle plans to become a full-fledged ALM vendor apart from offering its search technology, said Krugle rerpresentative Mike Maney. Instead, Krugle’s code-searching participates in the ALM space by aiding efforts of companies such as IBM, Yahoo and CollabNet.

In an internal email, Steve Larsen, Krugle CEO, said the company was attracting attention from senior managers and executives in ALM because they understand Krugle’s significant contribution in the space and know Krugle customers.
