This is done via SIMMETHOD's automation of: 1) competitive intelligence correlations and reports, and 2) management performance index benchmarking It simply a brilliant way to assess performance without politics, opinions and interpretations 'about how are we doing' - This a truly powerful methodology that is needed in the marketplace.” Stephen Maloney, SAS California State Representative, July 18, 2010
