| "All companies, irrespective of industry, are faced with the issue of where to invest limited resources given different financial and strategic priorities and constraints. IO gives us the information needed to put all initiatives on a similar playing field so that we can make the right decisions. The discipline IO imparts on an organization and its resulting ROI can be significant as we have seen."
--Gary Crittenden, CFO

"We see tremendous value in investment optimization. Eighteen months ago, we realized there is no off-the-shelf solution for optimizing resource allocation and began building it with Solver on our own. We know that other companies are struggling with this problem, and as a result, we are glad that Solver will be working with us to offer IO to other companies."
