- Assess performance using a best practice set of KPIs;
- Benchmark results with other study participants and industry values (average, best-in-class).

"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.

"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."
