Paul M. Antoine, Managing Director
Softway Pty Ltd.
"Initially, I was doubtful that an investment of five hours of my time
would produce results that I could bring to my Board of Directors, but I
was wrong. More than an incisive third-party opinion, the value of
NorthPoint's rating process is the quality of the questions, targeting
what needs to be known, along with the diagnostics it produces.
Today, there is no real way to assess risk since a software company's
assets are in its people. There is a crying need for an empirical,
analytical tool to help guide IT investment and management decisions.
The NorthPoint Risk Assessment Process combines a qualitative Risk Index
with a perceptive, prescriptive management report. I plan to use
the NorthPoint Risk Index to track my company's future progress.
The value of the tools and methodologies is absolute."

Eric R. Giler, President
Brooktrout Technology, Inc.
"Brooktrout is a $50+M public company and our goal is to grow to $100M
over the next few years. NorthPoint recently ran a two-day strategy
"think tank" session for our management team to help us formulate our
growth strategies. The forum was an extremely worthwhile
investment of our time and it fostered and encouraged the kind of
non-traditional thinking which will be required to pull off our goal.
I would encourage this process for any small company positioned for
growth. It was extremely valuable."
Jonathan G. Powers, Executive Director & Chief Financial
Officer, Cities in Schools, Inc.
(formerly VP, Finance, IBM U.S., and IBM Corporate Officer)
"Managing software businesses has been a 'black art.' There were no
tools, studies or long histories to help management make good decisions.
No one truly understood why or how software businesses succeed.
At IBM, we had a very sophisticated process for decision making, yet the
insights gained from using NorthPoint's tools and processes are orders
of magnitude better than anything I've seen. NorthPoint provides
management with a sophisticated and thorough process to determine what
products and services to build, what investments to make, what alliances
to form, how to price or value products and services, how to factor risk
into company valuations, and how to succeed in the marketplace."
William M. Steul, Chief Financial Officer
Eaton Vance Corp.
"NorthPoint's approach for measuring opportunity and evaluating risk is
much more complete than the traditional market and financial analysis
techniques I learned in business school. I use NorthPoint services and
tools to evaluate investments in software companies and products.
Software investment proposals promise great market success and high ROIs.
In reality, many - if not most - fail to perform as planned. The Risk
Assessment Products apply an effective, systematic method for analyzing
software investments to help identify and minimize the risk of failure."
J. Jeffrey Vandergrift, Director of Operations and Strategy
for Product Management, IBM EMEA (Europe, Middle East and Africa)
"NorthPoint's software business management tools, risk management
products and business planning processes represent a breakthrough in the
software industry. They have effectively aided IBM's transition into the
services solutions business.
NorthPoint has the software and services industry knowledge, tools,
methodologies, data bases, market information and proven track record to
help us reduce our business risk. With their continued support, we will
increase our opportunity for success."
