You should rename your BI Tool Evaluation Kit as ‘How to manage BI Technology Kit’. Your criteria and evaluation guide book has not only helped us to evaluate our new acquisitions, but also to maximize the benefits out of the existing ones. We are insisting more from our Vendors. I am truly impressed by your penchant for details. Fred Boyle, Head of Information Management (A Retailer based out of US) It is good to see that your kit is more than just a plain set of criteria. The detailed explanation of these criteria in your help file as well and your encyclopedia provides a holistic perspective. I think it will take us few months to absorb all this. This product is being appreciated by our sourcing team, in terms of your vendor-evaluation kit. Keep it up!! Daniel Bauer, CIO (a Logistics Company based out of Europe)
