A customer testimony is worth more than 1000 words of bland sales copy.

“Skelta BPM.NET helped us achieve an

ROI of 20% by identifying unmanaged
process areas, automating and integrating
them naturally in uncontrolled business
situations largely affected by the global “Skelta has an excellent visual component that
economic crisis existing today.” allows quick and easy design of workflows.
-Astimen Fe, It easily integrates other steps into the
MIS Manager, ICON+ workflow process. I could tell it was written by
experienced programmers who know what they
are doing.”
- Greg Robinson
Marketspace Monitor Group

“We sought an embedded solution with a thin-client

designer and finally found one in Skelta that actually
exceeded and continues to exceed our
expectations. More importantly than the technology,
we have found an OEM partner who sees our success as
their own success and this positive relationship with
Skelta has enabled us to move farther and faster
in the marketplace with confidence."
- Harold Engstrom
CEO, Innovative Process Solutions, Inc.

“We examined a couple of workflow engines, but what finally

prompted us to decide in favor of Skelta were two factors: one
was the fact that it was built on the .NET Framework, and two,
the price. In retrospect I believe we made the right choice
as our experience of using your workflow engine in our internal
business process optimization applications has shown that the
product is well defined and, overall, delivers on all the
performance parameters we were looking for.”
