IGRAFX® POSITIONED IN LEADERS QUADRANT FOR BUSINESS PROCESS ANALYSIS

Tualatin , OR . - March 14, 2006 - iGrafx®, a leading provider of Business Process Excellence solutions, announced today that it is positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in Gartner Inc.’s Magic Quadrant for Business Process Analysis, based on its demonstrated ability to execute and its completeness of vision. This research note authored by Michael Blechar and Jim Sinur was published on February 27, 2006.

According to Gartner Inc., Leaders are high-viability vendors with proven track records in BPA tools with high degrees of functionality or market penetration, as well as vision and business investment. They are also well-positioned for the future due to completeness of vision – due to financial commitment and market share, technological differentiation or both.

“Business process analysis (BPA) and modeling is becoming a starting point for business process management (BPM) projects and compliance activities,” Blechar and Sinur note in the report. “The assistance of a tool with visualization and other features – such as simulation and activity-based costing - is essential to optimize business processes and realize BPM cost and time savings.”

“We are pleased to be positioned by Gartner as a leader in the Business Process Analysis Magic Quadrant,” said Ken Carraher, President of iGrafx. “We believe this validates our expertise and commitment to deliver best-of-breed strategic modeling tools and enable our customers to achieve process excellence. With the newly released iGrafx 2006 solutions, we continue to deliver innovative leading-edge products that further enhance our market position.”
