"Lombardi Software delivers a user-friendly BPM platform that is flexible, scalable, and excels at managing human-to-system processes and real-time changes to the business," said Todd Davis, vice president of Enterprise Decision Management Software at Fair Isaac. "As the leader in business rules technology, Fair Isaac is committed to providing its customers with industry-leading process management solutions for business users. Enterprises seeking a solution that provides the full functionality of dedicated BPM and BRMS applications working together now have an offering that is a superior alternative to current hybrid solutions."

"Fair Isaac has proven to be the standard in business rules technology and we're excited to be their BPM partner," said Phil Gilbert, executive vice president and chief technology officer of Lombardi Software. "In the service-oriented architectures our customers are increasingly moving toward, the tightly knit interface between Lombardi's TeamWorks and Fair Isaac's Blaze Advisor fits perfectly. Using this SOA approach, you no longer have to compromise. Our best-of-breed process and rules platforms can be integrated using out of the box components, delivering business solutions faster, with less effort and higher ROI."

Gartner Research Vice-President Jim Sinur, in his December 11, 2003, report entitled "Predicts 2004: Agile BPM Suites are Ready to Take Off," stated, "Experience shows that rule technologies enable business value through agile processes, while delivering AD (application development) cost savings and time-to-market benefits. This will be leveraged at the business policy level as organizations learn how to manage groups of related rules. As management teams begin to leverage the capabilities of agile BPM technologies and BREs, they will want to link rule changes to management policies."
