"The results are remarkable. They can get a complete, unambiguous representation of business activities using a simple methodology that business people take to." - Bill Rosser, Distinguished Analyst, Gartner "xBML has helped enable Wachovia's IT Division to move toward a high performing, top quartile, service provider. All corporate initiatives should be driven by a consistent description of the business that xBML provides." - Amy Nichols, SVP, Wachovia "The missing language to bridge the perennial chasm between the business and IT. Utilizing xBML allowed IT and the business that xBML provides." - Pete Fischer, Corporate Express "The level of detail it captures and illustrates is commendable. I was also impressed by xBML's ability to obtain a thorough understanding of a large volume of complex material." - Kathy Budrawich, Pitney Bowes "In an IT organization of some 170 people, the ability of xBML to move quickly to a solution has been the major advantage for us. We no longer start with a room full of expensive people and a blank white board." - Rick Malinowski, Dept. of Personnel and Administration, State of Colorado "A unique methodology that combines project management, process improvement and business operations concepts and presents a graphical representation which is easy to understand. xBML models make sense and can be used to take your business to the next level." - Chris Lewis, Director, Qwest Communications
