BPM Partners named Adaptive Planning “Mid-Market Vendor of the Year.†In granting the award, BPM Partners cited Adaptive Planning’s leading-edge product offerings, which include on-demand, on-premises, and free open source solutions for budgeting, forecasting, and reporting, as well as the company’s outstanding customer satisfaction marks.
The “Mid-Market Vendor of the Year†award was presented during BPM Partners’ fifth-annual “Beyond the Hype†webcast. The event, produced in conjunction with Business Finance Magazine, reviewed industry trends and revealed the results of vendors’ customer satisfaction ratings collected in BPM Partners’ “BPM Pulse Survey.â€
“Adaptive Planning stands out as a company that clearly understands the mid-market, delivering innovative new solutions optimized for the needs of midsized companies,†said Craig Schiff, chief executive officer, BPM Partners. “They recognize that mid-market companies have the same information needs as major corporations, but lack the resources—personnel, time, and capital—typically enjoyed by large enterprises. And by aggressively leveraging new ‘BPM 2.0’ technologies, such as software as a service and open source, Adaptive Planning provides midsize companies with exciting new alternatives to spreadsheets for managing their budgeting, forecasting, and reporting processes.â€
“We are pleased to be recognized as the ‘Mid-Market Vendor of the Year,’†said William A. Soward, chief executive officer, Adaptive Planning. “We are also proud that our customer satisfaction score ranked among the highest of all firms surveyed. Taken together, the industry award and excellent customer marks demonstrate that Adaptive Planning is continuing to execute on our mission of providing unprecedented value to midsized companies through low-cost, high-quality, quick-to-implement solutions and world-class customer support.â€
