    BAY STATE COMPUTERS TO RESELL RAVENFLOW IIBA-CERTIFIED REQUIREMENTS DEFINITION COURSES

    Emeryville, CA—March 24, 2010—Ravenflow, the leader in visual requirements definition software, and Bay State Computers today announced that Bay State will be reselling Ravenflow's new courses for Writing Effective Business Use Cases and Requirements Elicitation Techniques.

    Bay State is a great partner of Ravenflow," said Susan Boers, president and CEO of Ravenflow. "Together, we have been providing solutions to many joint customers in the Federal arena. Now that Bay State is reselling IBM Rational's solutions, it only made sense to add our best practices courses on Requirements Definition to customers using DOORS and RequisitePro who are struggling with getting requirements right at the business level before development begins."

    "The need to realize more business value from investments in information technology has never been greater," said Patricia Hill, chairman and CEO of Bay State. "The challenges to 'do more with less' and to deploy resources more efficiently drives our customers on a daily basis. By extending our partnership with Ravenflow we can help our government and commercial customers to meet these challenges and to achieve success in delivering high-quality IT services and integrated solutions."

    The Ravenflow courses, included "Writing Effective Business Use Cases" and "Requirements Elicitation Techniques," have been endorsed by the IIBA, the International Institute for Business Analysis. Ravenflow is the only requirements solution provider to be endorsed by the IIBA.

    To kick off the new relationship, Bay State will be providing special introductory pricing for onsite classes for both courses.
