Deletion
Sorry, but the wording was still promotional, and no notability or significance was shown. I'm afraid all your references failed our need for 'coverage'. This means actual discussion or review, not a passing mention, an entry in a list or a directory entry. See WP:CORP, WP:RS and possibly - you'll know when you look at it - WP:COI. Look at WP:NPOV about how not to word things. Basically, any mention of 'we', 'offering', 'aims' and 'solutions' are killers - you didn't use all of them, I know. Some do... WP:SPAM is the policy on promotion. It's sometimes hard to avoid sounding promotional if you work in a business environment, and are trying to talk about your company. It can be done, but the significance has to be shown. Wikipedia is not a directory, and many long-established companies don't get in, mainly because they're not doing anything out of the ordinary, do something like making cat and dog food for three quarters of the supermarkets' own brands, and no-one outside their employees and the supermarkets' purchasing departments (and the Infernal Revenue...) has heard of them. Similar considerations apply in financial services, stockbroking, garden maintenance and whatever business type you care to name. Peridon (talk) 11:06, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
