DST Technologies, Zynium Announce Technology Agreement

Integration to Enable Support for XPDL in AWD, Expand Options for
Modeling and Process Definition

KANSAS CITY, MO, March 27, 2006 — DST Technologies, a leading provider of business process management (BPM) solutions, and Zynium Corporation, the Microsoft^® Visio^® Export/Import experts, announced a technology agreement today at the Gartner Business Process Management Summit. Under this agreement, Zynium’s Byzio adapters will enable DST Technologies’ clients to design workflows in Visio that can be imported into DST’s Automated Work Distributor (AWD^®) solution via an XML Process Definition Language (XPDL) interface. XPDL is a growing standard used to translate data for use in BPM solutions. The Byzio ExporterTM maximizes a company’s investment in business-process intelligence that has been captured in existing or new Visio models.

“Integration with Zynium’s Byzio interface supports our focus on expanding the methods by which our customers can model and define processes in AWD,” said Bob Puccinelli, DST’s Director of AWD Marketing. “We selected Zynium in large part due to its proven success in developing XPDL interfaces to import processes defined in Microsoft Visio.”

“Our relationship with DST demonstrates the intrinsic value of the Byzio Exporter^TM across multiple industries while providing select parties with the capabilities to enhance their solutions by integrating with our Byzio solutions,” explained Timothy H. ‘Dutch’ Dwight, COO, Zynium Corporation. “DST is a dominant leader in their market areas, and Zynium is pleased that DST has chosen to leverage our technologies.”
