Austin, Texas - Lombardi, a leader in business process management (BPM), today released highlights of its business performance for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Additionally, existing customers continued to expand their deployments of Lombardi's software, leading to numerous add-on license and services transactions for the company

during the first half.

"We had a very strong 1H 2008," said Rod Favaron, chief executive officer at Lombardi. "We are successfully executing our plan to focus on growth, innovation and global reach.  We exceeded our growth goals, delivered on product and services innovations, and met both our hiring and partner on-boarding goals for the first half of the year."

Representative customer wins include Ayudhya Allianz C.P. (Thailand), Allianz Hungaria Biztosito Zrt., Charles Schwab, G&D Integrated, Jaguar Land Rover, Maritz Research, Massachusetts Department of Revenue, Merchant Investors Assurance Company Ltd., OAD Groep BV, Savvis, Singapore Refining Company Private Limited, TeliaSonera, Wells Fargo Home and Consumer Finance Group, Wirtualna Polska SA and Yale University.

Leading Product Innovation

During 1H08, the company shipped two major product upgrades. The first was Lombardi Teamworks®, the company's award-winning BPM suite. Teamworks 6 Enterprise release 6.1 delivers increased ease-of-use and expanded capabilities to process authors. More than 200 companies world-wide depend upon Lombardi Teamworks for managing and improving their process performance.

The company also released an update to Lombardi BlueprintT, its 'on-demand' process-documentation tool that is used to collaboratively map an organization's business processes, identify problems, and prioritize improvement opportunities. More than 3,000 companies have become Blueprint customers since its 2007 launch - making it the most widely used Software as a Service (SaaS) BPM product.

Expanded Solution Portfolio

The company introduced a series of process "know how" packages during the first half. The initial solutions, called the Lombardi Process DefinitionT packages, are focused on helping companies document, analyze and prioritize their process initiatives. The first three packages offered address the areas of Inventory, Assessment, and Analysis. Each package is a fixed-price offering that combines Lombardi technology with delivery services and template-based artifacts.

"For years, BPM companies have focused on helping customers deploy their technology, but have largely ignored addressing the challenges companies have when getting ready for BPM, including prioritizing where they should use it, as well as the governance challenges they face when it is deployed widely across the organization," said Phil Gilbert, president of Lombardi. "Our packages give customers a very specific approach towards solving these challenging new tasks. This leads to more predictable results - and broad adoption."

Due to its innovative products, Lombardi and its customers received numerous awards and honors during the first half of the year. These accolades included:

• Teamworks 6 Enterprise Edition was named the "Best Business Process Management" product and recipient of a 2008 Technology of the Year Award by IDG's InfoWorld. The award may be viewed at http://www.infoworld.com/slideshow/2008/01/144-2008_technology-2.html.
