Total revenue for the quarter was $37.5 million, up 28% from the first quarter of 2006. License revenue increased $5.1 million, or 73%, from the first quarter of 2006. Professional services revenue increased $2.2 million, or 14%, from the first quarter of 2006 due to new license implementations. 
 Alan Trefler, Chairman and CEO, commented, 'New customer signings and extensions of existing relationships resulted in a significant increase in revenues for the first quarter of this year over last year. A leading property and casualty insurer, top U.S. and U.K. banks, a leading U.K. government agency, and a top 10 Fortune 500 company, among others, all signed as new customers this quarter, while a significant number of our existing customers extended their relationships. We are looking forward to working closely with these customers to help them fully realize the benefits that a unified environment can bring, and to capitalize on the competitive advantages of adopting a build for change approach.'

				<title><![CDATA[Which Comes First? BPM or SOA?]]></title>
				<link>http://www.pega.com/NewsEvents/Webcasts/detail.asp?eid=17</link>
				<description><![CDATA[WEBCAST: (5/10/2007) Which Comes First? BPM or SOA?:  Confused about which comes first, BPM or SOA? Should you focus on business improvement or on integrating to your legacy environment? 
 If you answered yes to these questions, you can't miss this webinar! 
 You will learn from a successful BPM roll-out at BB&T, how to focus on business goals — in this case delivering mission-critical multi-channel account opening — while working in parallel with your SOA team. Because a mature BPMS is designed to interoperate seamlessly within a services-oriented environment, you can actually engage the business and focus on your goals while aspects of the underlying infrastructure are evolved. Most importantly, by focusing on the business goals, you develop the integration points most critically needed, rather than wait until you "boil the ocean" before you begin key process-improvement initiatives. 
 You will also learn from a leading BPM analyst at Forrester: 
 
 Why SOA alone will not drive business change  
 What business users need to see before they engage  
 How BPM engages people to drive "quick wins"  
 What it means to be "designed for people" and to "Build for Change®"   ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[WEBCAST: (10/25/2006) Business Rules Forum Webinar: Building an Effective Rules Management Organization Through Delegation: Effective rules management begins with aligning rules to the business stakeholder, not the rule engine.

				<title><![CDATA[Account Opening: Innovation and Growth with Business Process Management]]></title>
				<link>http://www.pega.com/NewsEvents/Webcasts/detail.asp?eid=28</link>
				<description><![CDATA[WEBCAST: (8/23/2006) Account Opening: Innovation and Growth with Business Process Management:  In this webcast, discover how banks are applying Business Process Management to consumer and business banking. You'll hear from banking industry experts on the challenges and rewards of turning an arduous process into a smart growth initiative.  
 Financial institutions are under tremendous pressure to grow revenue organically. They must acquire, on-board, and cross-sell new customers intelligently. This is forcing them to evaluate outdated processes that stand in the way of differentiation and responsiveness. The account-opening process is a complex and mission-critical function, yet it remains largely manual, time-consuming, and inflexible. This prevents banks from being able to innovate and respond rapidly to new opportunities. It also increases the risk of non-compliance with regulations and company policies. Account opening is a prime area where process improvements can lead to increased revenue, deeper customer relationships, and lower operational risk.  ]]></description>
