"I would recommend ACUMEN. We bought
it 5 years ago when we had maybe 15 titles.
It's helped us grow more than 10-fold since.
The nice thing about ACUMEN is that it will
grow with you. We bought the single-user version
and had one ACUMEN workstation. We ran that
for about three months and went to three users.
And then grew from there. I know that when
I bought that first one-user system, I thought
it was so...... expensive, but it has made
such an enormous difference that it's more
than paid for itself. Actually, within three
months we didn't know how we had ever lived
without it."

"I appreciate your openness to ideas.
You have truly pioneered a great way of working
in the software engineering business. Your
ability to create a community of users is
greater than most other software companies
out there. This is a huge advantage, and certainly
encouraging for companies that see the potential
functionality of your software in the future.
Your ability to rapidly engineer and develop
new solutions is something we considered in
our decision to go with ACUMEN, and you have
proven those abilities time again."
Paul Bloomer, Operations
Manager

"Since switching to ACUMEN our order
entry time has been cut in half. This has
enabled us to eliminate 1 full-time staff
member."

"At last we have a way to store our
reviews and clippings in a manageable format.
We receive our book reviews, endorsements,
and customer comments electronically and with
simple "copy and paste" maneuver
the data is where everyone can access it when
it's needed. I love it!"
