Info

Perfect is an organization which, from these six references, would appear to want to jump through hoops whenever a customer requests it -- and will even sense the question coming before hand. Interestingly, most of the references I spoke to or traded notes with on the customer side were all fairly recent acquisitions to Perfect's client list -- and they were all from Europe. In many cases, these customers appear to have chosen Perfect to serve as an enabler in one area or another for a broader SAP deployment (though Perfect was quick to point out that they also have a fully functioning hosted P2P platform that could serve as either a temporary or permanent alternative to SAP SRM). One customer, after an extensive evaluation of other providers in the market (and with a previously negative Commerce One experience) suggested that Perfect's support quality had improved dramatically and that they had "clearer vision of where they are going. This view came from an organization who was leveraging Perfect as a slot-in capability -- in this case Perfect's Product Information Management (PIM) capability -- to streamline their P2P process as part of a broader implementation involving multiple vendors. So what's my take away from these discussions? First, Perfect is a vendor on the move.
