I think that this is a great opportunity for the mid-sized BPM firms such as Lombardi to make a play, since FileNet BPM sales are sure to stumble until the final strategy is clarified significantly.

The IBM announcement discussed integrating their BPM and Service Oriented Architecture technologies with the FileNet platform, mention of FileNet's BPM product was noticeably absent. We think FileNet decided to throw in the towel because they have not been able to execute on BPM – just look at leading analyst opinions from this year. This is a positive development for the BPM leaders like Lombardi, since we view it as yet another opportunity for us gain further market share in the rapidly growing BPM category.
