WHAT:

The Object Management Group(TM) (OMG(TM)) and its BPMI (Business
Process Management Initiative) Steering Committee announced the
results of elections appointing Mr. Gilbert to the Committee for 2006
-- 2007. This is Mr. Gilbert's second term as an elected OMG Committee
member, and he previously served on the BPMI Board of Directors prior
to the merger of the two standards organizations.

The BPMI Steering Committee provides Business Process Management
thought leadership and expertise for the entire industry through
education programs, public advocacy, and advice to the combined BPM
standards work at OMG. Position statements from Mr. Gilbert and the
other Committee members may be found at

The new BPMI Steering Committee will be educating the market about BPM
and how it is integral to initiatives such as Service-Oriented
Architecture (SOA) deployments. It will also be promoting the
significance of the adoption of OMG standards such as the Business
Process Modeling Notation (BPMN), the Semantics of Business Vocabulary
and Business Rules (SBVR) specification and the Business Process
Definition Metamodel (BPDM).

As a founding member of BPMI.org in 2000, Lombardi Software has a long
history of involvement with BPM standards. The company has contributed
significantly on the submission of business process specifications
including BPDM, BPMN and the forthcoming Business Process Runtime
Interfaces (BPRI). The election of Mr. Gilbert to the OMG BPMI
Steering Committee again demonstrates Lombardi's leadership and
commitment to defining and supporting meaningful BPM standards.
Lombardi's participation in standards bodies such as OMG benefits
customers by ensuring product leadership and speeding the general
market adoption of BPM.

OMG's BPMI Steering Committee members have been elected to serve for
the 2006 - 2007 session. The Committee will have its first
