QPR SOFTWARE PLC	PRESS RELEASE, DECEMBER 22, 2008                               

Bloor Research Recognizes QPR Software as Innovator and Specialist in Business  
Process Management Vendor Landscape                                             

In its latest Business Process Management (BPM) Market Update Report, Bloor     
Research recognized QPR Software's Business Process Management Suite as         
Innovator and categorized QPR Software as a BPM Specialist.     
                
Simon Holloway, BPM Practice Leader at Bloor Research characterizes QPR Software
as one of two vendors out of all vendors covered (a total of 24) that are       
showing the way to what will be delivered as “BPM version 2” by providing a BPM 
platform that aligns control of process with business strategy. The report also 
highlights QPR's impressive worldwide penetration through an extensive partner  
network.                                                                        

The QPR BPM Suite provides a rapidly deployable and robust business process     
management platform, designed to support the complete BPM lifecycle, and is     
focused at business users. Unique in integrating business process management    
technology (QPR ProcessGuide) with performance management technology (QPR       
ScoreCard), the QPR BPM Suite allows organizations to link process improvement  
with strategy, corporate goals and objectives in a way that makes best use of   
available resources. This allows organizations to rapidly identify improvement  
opportunities and maximize process improvement gains, therefore accelerating    
their return on investment and providing a continuous driver for process        
improvement.                                                                    

“We are thrilled to see our BPM Suite stand out so well among the world's       
leading BPM solution providers” Tony Virtanen, Vice President of Products and   
Technology commented, “especially the acknowledgement in being innovative and   
visionary is a real compliment to our work. We are now showing the rest of the  
field what functionality their BPM Suites are benchmarked against” he continued.

Earlier, Bloor Research has praised QPR Software for providing a complete BPM   
solution that allows organizations to adopt Business Process Management in a    
phased approach, which unlike other BPM solutions allows customers to adopt BPM 
in phases without having to commit a large amount of resources to a “make or    
break” BPM project.
