Thank you for choosing IntelliCorp's Intelligent Impact Analysis software for SAP Application Lifecycle Management (ALM).  The LiveCompare technology is now proven in more than 34% of SAP's Fortune 500 customers and we're confident that it will revolutionize your SAP ownership!

As John Capron, IBM Server Division says:

"LiveCompare is a huge step forward for improving SAP ALM.  Assessor Template Packages answer 80%+ of our lifecycle questions and when we customize them further with LiveCompare Assessor Studio we increase that to 100%.  No other solution has empowered us with such valuable SAP system information, and that has meant significant time, cost and resource savings for IBM."
