"Thanks for all your work on this and the work you are taking on that is not in your scope of work. I for one really appreciate the work you all are doing and as far as consultants that we have worked with in the past, SoftResources by far has the best service. I’ve felt your comments and questions are not only relevant to what we are trying to do, there is definitely more of a team approach to how you stay in touch and keep us up to date. I really feel you are working in our interest and certainly appreciate that!"

"When I has given the job of researching, choosing and implementing a new complete Operational System for my company, I felt overwhelmed. I first decided to research how to do "research." I found that I could do it all myself: take it on as a full time job and hope that I did it right. The other avenue is to have your research done by someone who actually does research, exclusively. I then "researched the researchers." That is when I found SoftResources. After several phone calls and live interviews with the staff at SoftResources, I felt comfortable that they would be an excellent choice to hire to do our researching. One of the most important steps in choosing major software is to engage an implementer that has experience in your industry. SoftResources excels in this. We could have not have done it without them, and it was money well spent."

"We had struggled for some time to develop the scope of work for a Human Resources Management System. Once we hired SoftResources everything went like clockwork. They efficiently obtained needs input from all divisions and were quickly able to translate those needs into a useful scope of work. Their knowledge of the various HR systems was invaluable during evaluation of various proposals. The project turned from stagnant to successful once SoftResources became involved."

"I've used SoftResources for two of the three ERP searches that I have conducted. I have found their methodologies to be efficient and to the point. They know how to quickly narrow down requirements into the key differentiating criteria that matter. Their reputation in the industry fosters quick and accurate communication with ERP vendors. As a result, they can conduct thorough research in a fraction of the time it takes other firms. Combine that with their singular focus on ERP searches and you get the most efficient, thorough and independent software searches that I have found. It's a great model, I would use them again!"

"We've used SoftResources several times over the past 5 years. Most recently, we engaged them to help us find any commercial alternatives to the system solutions typically offered in the Integrated Library System industry. It was a tough assignment and required a lot of creativity. SoftResources came back to us with a recommendation that looks really spot-on for what we were looking for. In my estimation they have been worth the investment. They have a particular knack for stopping you from buying too much solution for what you really need."
Jed Moffitt
Associate Director of IT Services

"SoftResources has provided invaluable assistance and guidance to Kitsap Regional Library through every phase of our ERP selection and purchase. From conducting an initial needs assessment in order to identify KRL's system and organizational requirements, through the entire RFP development, vendor selection and contract negotiation process, they were super. The consultants and staff we worked with were terrific--customer-focused, highly competent, ethical and professional. The written documentation and work products provided to KRL by SoftResources were excellent, always on-time, and within budget. Thanks SoftResources! We believe KRL got a great ERP system (go-live 1/07), using a very effective process, and we couldn't have done it without YOU!"

"SoftResources has assisted United Liquors in needs assessment, vendor selection, and qualification for our ERP system. The Company could not have gotten to where it is, left to its own resources. Not only is the work of the highest caliber, it is performed at very cost effective rates. I would not go through an IT selection process without consulting SoftResources."
Lewis Gack
CFO Treasurer
United Liquors Ltd

“We enlisted the services of SoftResources when we made the decision to look for an ERP package. The knowledge they bring to the table about what is available in the “software world” is invaluable. Technology is changing so fast, we smaller governments simply don’t have the resources in-house to do the appropriate research to make an informed decision. Fortunately, this is what SoftResources does best. We were very pleased with their participation in our project, and as well, the outcome.”
Nanci Lien

“The system SoftResources helped us select 10 years ago was exactly the right solution for us and I still think fondly of the fantastic mental and technical support your team provided us.”

"Nicholson Industries selected SoftResources because of their broad knowledge of the ERP software marketplace and well organized approach to the ERP selection process. As expected, we found them very knowledgeable, easy to work with, and uniquely dedicated to helping us find the right product. With their help and structured approach we went through the process of defining our requirements and how we wish to do business in the future, identifying candidates, and conducting fair and informative demonstrations. The result of this process was the selection a product that we are confident is the best one for us. Finally, we found SoftResources consultation during the negotiations phase with regard to contract language and product pricing well worth the expense."
