Nominated for speedy deletion under criterion A7 by User:Jay-Sebastos without additional comment. I've looked at the article and the verbose hang-on reason on the talk page, and while it is largely advertising in tone with little indication of notability, it is claimed that the company has "over 850 customers in 37 countries". This combined with all the information in the article and the difficulty in immediately determining the amount of independent coverage due to the generic company name is enough that I cannot be certain speedy deletion is correct.

Delete - I must have missed the bit about "850 customers in 37 countries": at any rate you were right to remove the speedy template. I'm going to say delete, however, because firstly the only claim of importance is not referenced, and secondly because I can't find anything else asserting notability on the web.

Delete per Jay-Sebastos, and speedy criteria G11. WuhWuzDat 18:18, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Yet another business intelligence (BI) and location intelligence (LI) software solution provider. I like how they helpfully supplied the acronyms. Docked -25 notability points for "business intelligence" and -50 for "software solution provider", a phrase that in itself qualifies any article it appears in for G11 speedy deletion. GNews finds only press releases announcing routine deals, nothing for the history books. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 18:32, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
