Cleveland, November 1, 2005

M&M Business Solutions, a Meaden & Moore Company, and Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC) launch an alliance to help companies select the right software application by using leading-edge technology to provide unbiased, experienced consultation for ERP software selection projects.

M&M Business Solutions, a Meaden & Moore company (www.meadenmoore.com), a leading, regional consultancy, and Technology Evaluation Centers, Inc. (TEC) (www.TechnologyEvaluation.com/press), the first web-native technology research enterprise, have formed an alliance that will provide analyst-vetted software selection assessments to customers seeking IT and ERP functional and technical expertise.

TEC’s Certified Professional Services Providers program creates opportunities for TEC to team up with IT professional services providers to deliver superior software package selections and strategic IT assessments far more efficiently and effectively than by traditional means.

M&M Business Solutions is an inaugural member of TEC's Certified Professional Services Provider program. Based in Cleveland, M&M Business Solutions joins this program to enhance its comprehensive service offerings and create value for its clients by offering a broad range of expertise in ERP and technology selection and implementation.
Consultancies such as M&M Business Solutions will utilize TEC's knowledge base of detailed current data about hundreds of software products and vendors and its "break-away" eBestMatch decision support tools to analyze vendor and product data. Such an approach will enable decision-makers to select software products that best fit their business and systems requirements and deliver maximum business value.

"We've witnessed firsthand the frustration and waste that occurs when companies try to adopt enterprise software that just doesn't meet their needs," said Lori Burt, director of M&M Business Solutions. "By combining our expertise in ERP systems with the software selection resources of TEC (www.TechnologyEvaluation.com/press), we will be in a powerful position to help our clients prioritize their needs for enterprise software, then select a package from among more than 100 enterprise software solutions to identify the right fit."

Richard Dean, vice president, strategic initiatives at TEC, welcomes this alliance to provide better value for clients seeking help with software selection. “For many years, Meaden & Moore has been an innovator in delivering ERP software evaluation and selection projects for small and mid-market manufacturers in the Midwestern United States. We're very proud that they have elected to be a charter member of TEC's Certified Professional Services Provider network.”
