Testimonials

“The benchmarking study executed in April 2009 was very useful and has brought many new insights. In addition, benchmarking the results with industry values was a useful exercise. The introduced best practice KPI set is considered very powerful and we have adopted the entire set to monitor projects and improvements."
  -- Dr. Ir. Ton Tinus, Senior Development Director at Philips Healthcare, BU CV


"Within limited budget and time Secure-AG has audited a major FEI software project and revealed some interesting metrics for us. The audit has given us a nice baseline for comparing ourselves with industry peers and with ourselves in the future in time. We were specifically impressed with the graphs and information that the SolidSource tooling provided"

"Since 2009, we have adopted the best practice KPI set as part of our continuous improvement program. At this stage, most KPIs have been implemented. Using the set for project monitoring has helped us to improve the required transparency in our software projects and supports us to make informed decisions in a pro-active way. "
  -- Dirk Gandras, Director Subsegment Tachograph Products at Continental

"The best practice KPI set turns out to be an excellent instrument to measure real software capability. It enables our customers to baseline and benchmark their current performance and allows us to derive a solid business case for adopting our ASD technology. The supporting workshops have been very well received by both our consultants and our customers."
