Blueprint and Centerline Partners Join Forces to Provide User Centered Requirement Service

TORONTO and BEVERLY, MA, Aug 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
Blueprint, the leader in requirements solutions for software business
analysts, and Centerline Partners, a leading management consulting firm
focused on requirements management, program & project management and
business analysis, today unveiled a new partnership, whereby Blueprint's
Requirements Center offering will be the linchpin in Centerline's new User
Centered Rapid Requirements Management service. The agreement enables
Centerline to offer Blueprint as a strategic solution to clients as part
of this service, driving accuracy and quality earlier in the application
development lifecycle.

Centerline's Rapid Requirements Management (RRM) service helps clients
capture and document their requirements with a higher degree of accuracy,
quality and speed. A primary tenant of RRM is to be able to articulate
"validated" business requirements to both the business and IT owners in
their respective languages.

The new User Centered RRM provides a framework which features the rigor of
RRM combined with a user centered design approach that empowers Centerline
experts to integrate validated requirements with design. Blueprint
eliminates the disconnect between requirements and user interface design
by providing a platform which tightly couples the requirements validation
and definition of the user interface design in one system.

"Centerline Partners is committed to helping our clients improve the
quality and accuracy of requirements, to support their business, reduce
risk and rapidly maximize existing investments in methodology and tools,"
said Andy Simon, co-founder and partner at Centerline. "By leveraging
Blueprint, our User Centered RRM service will enable customers to achieve
speed, quality and accuracy in their requirements process, vastly
improving their software delivery."

"Centerline has an innovative approach and a well respected team of
requirements experts, and we are delighted that they have chosen to
partner with Blueprint to deliver this new offering," said David Brehmer,
Director of Alliances at Blueprint. "By combining a user centered design
approach with the power of Blueprint, Centerline will be able to deliver
validated requirements and usage scenarios which meet stakeholders needs."

Released in June 2008 and already gaining significant market traction,
Blueprint Requirements Center 2009 is the first software solution designed
for all phases of the requirements definition lifecycle. With Requirements
Center 2009, Blueprint delivers four groundbreaking modules purpose built
to provide business analyst teams the capability to optimize the
requirements definition practices of requirements elicitation,
