"Reviewing several products in the same day really helped us compare each company's features and contrast the advantages and disadvantages. One demo would lead to questions that we could then ask at other demo's, whereas we might not have though of that issue had it not come up in a previous session."

"The scripted demos did allow for a near apples to apples comparison of the software. It kept them honest (VARs) and allows us to view more of the functionality in less than two hours than I have seen in other half-day demos. The Keynote presentation had a couple of nuggets that will ensure we get company buy-in on our project ... a key element we had lost sight of while deep in feature comparison."
-VP of Finance
