[edit] avolution

Dear JASpencer, I'm just wanting to open a dialog regarding your suggested deletion of the avolution page. For the record, I am independent of avolution and a recent member to WP (so apologies for getting things wrong if I have done protocol-wise). My organisation has recently purchased ABACUS, however, I can't disclose their name as my comments are my opinion etc. I trust you understand. Anyway, some background ... my organisation recently chose ABACUS from various other TOGAF certified tools. As part of our evaluation process I looked at WP and saw various other TOGAF certified tools were present however ABACUS wasn't. Utlimately, that was my motivation for updating the TOGAF page and creating the avolution page. Now, in response to your notability query, ABACUS has been reviewed very favourably by Forrester and AMR research and large organisations like Capita, Serco, AXA and BT are using it along with (according to avolution themselves) 'hundreds or users in over 20 countries'. Which brings me to note that I did check the facts with avolution before posting the page and used some information provided by them during the evaluation process. Not surpringly they have been supportive in this effort. So I suggest we just leave the page there for a while and see who else contributes to it and helps to establish their notability. ABACUS really is a great tool, that just keeps getting more and more impressive the more I use it. Petersleep (talk) 17:58, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
