[edit] OutlookSoft

Spam; incoherent business-speak; unreferenced. Withdraw per proper references and rewrite. Salad Days 21:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - might be a bad article as currently written, but I found articles about the company from Infoworld [[1]] on the first page of 419K google hits. Seems notable, and the article could be improved over time; and what sounds like "business-speak" to you might be the ordinary language used to describe a company in its industry.

  • Keep - This is a legitimate company and the entry is in line with Wiki writing standards. Note other entries for like vendors. If this entry is considered 'spam', then all must be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.119.146.30 (talk • contribs) 21:25, 1 January 2007
  • If you are familiar with the company I suggest updating it with a couple of references to reliable sources (like the Inforworld article). Tarinth 21:38, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, notable 2nd-tier corporate-accounting software firm. Everest has been around for several years now. Article terrible. --Dhartung | Talk 23:56, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment What part of "Similar to business intelligence, performance management software (also known as Business Performance Management or Corporate performance management) allows business users to better understand and interact with enterprise-type data and perform strategic functions like planning, budgeting, consolidation, forecasting and reporting." don't you people understand?! I don't have a keep/delete opinion yet - I'm gonna have to spend the rest of the day diagramming that previous sentence. Bourne 00:01, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
    • I've cleaned it up and added a couple of external references. The sentence above is a reasonable description of BPM software but not really of value here. Basically it's software that lets you look at your entire company's financial situation and crunch some forecasting numbers. --Dhartung | Talk 00:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
