"We
found BPM Partners' independent, in-depth knowledge
of the various vendor product's strengths, weaknesses
and unique features to be extremely valuable.
That knowledge enabled us to quickly and effectively
pare down the vast array of BPM vendors to a core subset
that fit our business needs. In addition, given
our tight timeframe for making a selection, it was nice
to have an intermediary between us and the vendors coordinating
the most efficient evaluation process, including vendor
demonstrations, proposals and other communications.
BPM Partners was a great asset to our BPM vendor selection
efforts."

| "We found BPM Partners'
established processes, procedures and guidelines very
beneficial in bringing all the variables of our project
together. In addition, as the project progressed we appreciated
how they provided direction and feedback along the way,
but then stood back and allowed us to make the final decisions.
They were a great value for the money."

"We started our
project on our own, looking at several vendors over a
4-5 month period. At the end, we would have likely
chosen the vendor based upon cost and our preference for
the sales representative. At that point, we engaged
BPM Partners and their expert consultant opened our eyes
to different vendors, guided us through an efficient process
to crystallize our business requirements, and helped us
choose the best solution that aligned
with our business needs over a short time frame - keeping
price and sales relationships as secondary considerations.
I am confident that if we would have engaged BPM Partners
earlier, we would have selected our optimal BPM vendor
faster and with greater confidence that we were making
the right decision for our business." |

| "The two-day BPM
Partners workshop enabled us to jump start our KPI dashboard
development project. Working in partnership with BPM Partners
experts we were able to ensure that we developed a thorough
understanding of end-users needs and expectations, allowing
us to build buy-in at an early stage and undertake a more
efficient vendor selection and implementation process,
thereby reducing risks for the project." |

support and guidance BPM Partners provided to reinforce

was important to us. In addition, the knowledge they

of the key benefits BPM Partners brought to the table
was assisting us in fleshing out our Proof of Concept. We
also found having an external expert communicate
with the vendors to be quite valuable. In the
end BPM Partners helped us to accomplish our objective
of choosing the best vendor to meet our needs." |

This understanding helped make the overall project extremely
productive. With the services provided by BPM Partners,

expert help from BPM Partners, we would have had difficulty
arriving at the right vendor to suit our needs. We realized

the money and effort we were planning to invest, we could
not afford a misstep." |

| "Novamex worked
with, but did not hand over the reins to the consultant.
In fact, our staff became more involved in the project.
By following the structured approach BPM Partners recommended
for evaluating software vendors, however, it freed up
our time. The product demonstrations, for instance, became
more focused on our business because the consultant helped
us work out specific guidelines for the vendors." |
