Engleman Associates, Inc's business model is to work with independent consultants and consulting firms that provide strategic and process improvement consulting. They also have deep experience in providing enterprise software improvement services to businesses.

When SoftSelect tools/methodology and business software research are combined with the skill and capacity of appropriate consultant partners, the offering is impressive. This combination helps win projects, delivers superior results to clients, and is a conduit to win purposeful follow-on services. 

There is no financial risk to consultants as fees to use our tools, methods, and business system research are included in proposals and only paid if the proposal is accepted.
