Article has been deleted once through proposed deletion, and was restored. Advertisement for a non-notable business, yet another SaaS-based Project Portfolio Management solution provider. References provided are only superficially impressive: yes, the New York Times apparently printed a story about their name change (from "eProject" to the current title &mdash; smart move!), and were mentioned once in the Wall Street Journal. Those are the only non-routine references; the rest are "magic quadrants" and other usual suspects. Even the cream of the references don't establish historical, technical, or cultural significance or long term historical notability.

 * Delete These kinds of throwaway mentions do not establish notability. Miami33139 (talk) 07:56, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. This software is one of the leading 2nd tier project management software tools. It is comparable with tools such as Microsoft Project Server. The list of clients alone is WP:N. The company gets as much press as any mid-size software company eg . in June 2008 Gartner put the company in the leaders quadrant . This is also WP:N. The company has 100,000 users and employs about 100 people, one of the larger project management software providers. The Gartner rating is more than sufficient reason to keep. I am concerned that the Talk page suggests a systematic pattern to list many of the companies that appear on the Comparison_of_project_management_software page for WP:AfD.

 * Leading 2nd tier? I played chess once with Anatoly Karpov in an exhibition match; I came in second, myself.While I should hope that Gartner is a reliable source, it's not very useful for notability.  Gartner's a consulting business producing investment reports for IT businesses.  Their coverage is necessarily deeper than an encyclopedia's; they're demand driven by the needs of their customers, and as such coverage in Gartner does not really mean that an editor has found a business it covers significant enough to receive independent reporting.  - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 14:35, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
