The innovation of Gathering Tools is simple to demonstrate, and we generally receive a positive astounding feedback after the first demonstration.

  1. When a managerial audit, HRD, quality manager, or other business expert witnesses the perfect reproduction of his Excel workbook in Gathering Tools, with the emphasis of consistency checks and workflow process, s/he is generally convinced from the first presentation.
  2. Moreover, when the CIO finds that Gathering Tools allows the data in his document to be structured and integrated into the Information System, this helps to envisage how useful the software is going to be for data quality and to avoid costly developments for this purpose.
  3. Finally, when it was revealed that the price of the solution is not based on the number of users, therefore, it is not expensive to collect data from thousands of users, the sales manager noticed the savings that could be achieved by avoiding, for example, the purchase of BPM / EPM tool licenses for users who simply enter numbers or consult analyses.
