("Lombard Risk" or the "Company")

Advanced Software development and delivery processes accredited by CMMI Institute

23 January 2013: Lombard Risk Management plc (AIM: LRM), a leading provider of integrated collateral management and liquidity, regulatory, transaction and MIS reporting solutions for the financial services industry, is pleased to announce that it has achieved CMMI-D Level 3 accreditation from the CMMI Institute (www.cmmiinstitute.com). This is in recognition of its high-quality software design, development and implementation processes.

The CMMI Institute is a subsidiary of Carnegie Innovations, Carnegie Mellon University's technology commercialisation enterprise. Work on the CMMI process originated with the SEI (Software Engineering Institute), a federally funded research and development centre sponsored by the US Department of Defense and operated by Carnegie Mellon University, an organisation well known for its highly rated programmes in computer science and engineering (www.sei.cmu.edu/).

John Wisbey, Chief Executive Officer, Lombard Risk says: "This is a major landmark for our development organisation which provides external verification of the quality and robustness of our software development processes. We believe that this will further enhance our reputation with clients and partners and confirms our ability to scale-up development work on multiple projects."

Nicholas Davies, Chief Technology Officer, added: "This, together with the ISO 9001 certification, is a prestigious achievement for our technology division. We have defined CMMI level 3 processes which increase delivery efficiency and team effectiveness and are consistent and repeatable across all projects and products. Among other benefits, this creates efficiency gains with less need to increase headcount. These processes also improve quality for our clients and allow greater capacity to handle more client-chargeable projects, as well as improving assurance and confidence in planning milestones and in project budgets."
