The Lance Armstrong Foundation Processes Ride with Lombardi for Business Process Management

Cancer Foundation Utilizing TeamWorks BPM to Manage Enterprise Processes

AUSTIN, Texas – October 16, 2006 – Lombardi®, the leader in Business Process Management (BPM) software for Global 2000 companies, today announced that the Lance Armstrong Foundation (LAF) has deployed the TeamWorks® BPM platform in support of the organization's merchandising and donation processes, dash-board reports and exception management processes. Lombardi TeamWorks currently manages hundreds of thousands of transactions per month supporting core programs such as the LIVESTRONG™ Store and the LIVESTRONG Challenge. Additionally, the LAF was recognized as a 2006 CIO 100 Award winner (http://www.cio.com/archive/081506/winner.html?id=326) for its achievement in creating new business value through IT-enabled innovation, in part through its usage of TeamWorks.

The LAF, founded in 1997 by cancer survivor and champion cyclist Lance Armstrong, is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization located in Austin, Texas, that provides the practical information and tools people living with cancer need to live life on their own terms. Approximately 55 million people across the globe have purchased a LIVESTRONG wristband in support of people living with cancer. Since its inception, the Foundation has awarded more than $30 million in grants and program partnerships. Programmatic expenses include the development of survivorship education and resources (online and offline), information and referral services and advocacy initiatives. The LAF boasts a four-star Charity Navigator ranking and was selected by the Better Business Bureau to join the elite Wise Giving Alliance. The Foundation is proud to invest more than 80 percent of expenses into mission-related activities and grants.

"Our goal was to make our business users self-sufficient in their daily tasks," said Betty Otter-Nickerson, LAF Chief Operating Officer. "Lombardi was the right BPM solution for our needs because it gives our business users the tools they need while freeing up our IT staff."

The LAF selected Lombardi's TeamWorks to allow each business unit to easily manage their processes without constantly relying on IT staff. The Foundation also needed to tie together information systems from multiple vendors. Lombardi reports and dashboards provide users with real-time information as needed.

The Foundation utilizes the services of Athens Group, a consulting firm and a Lombardi Certified Partner. "With a high-volume charity such as LAF, the performance and scalability of systems is extremely critical to their operations," said Paul Patterson, Managing Partner of BPM Solutions at Athens Group. "The processes we have implemented using Lombardi are handling the volumes extremely well."

"The Lance Armstrong Foundation provides tremendous assistance and support for people living with cancer," said Rod Favaron, President and Chief Executive Officer of Lombardi. "Lombardi is proud that our software is helping support such an important organization and cause."
