Blueworks Live is intended to be a business-user focused process & decision discovery and documentation tool.

There are a number of more complicated BPMN 2.0 specification attributes that are left out in the aim of creating simple, understandable processes & decisions in Blueworks Live.

Blueworks Live is also fully integrated with IBM's BPM product enabling customers to quickly take their processes from discovery to implementation if so desired.

The company with its range of BPM products caught IBM's attention, so in January 2010 they made an acquisition of Lombardi.

The Discovery Map is intended to enable business users to quickly and efficiently get the process activities and milestones out on 'paper'.

In cases where a customer utilizes SSO for login, and has viewer licenses, the account administrator can enable JIT provisioning.

All the information and data stored in Blueworks live is private, and inaccessible by IBM unless specifically given written permission for access by a customer.

Blueworks live also uses 256-bit Secure Sockets Layer (SSL 3.0 / TLS 1.2) for server authentication and data encryption.
