	Air Products and Chemicals "If there are eight to ten people sitting in a room and we can knock a half hour off the meeting, then we're really saving time. People can refer back to one map that has all the project ideas, action items, and related documents. And the maps become agendas for subsequent meetings." Paul Wood, Project Manager: Wichita Advanced Controls Initiative Project Read The Case Study
	Allied Telesyn "The net result is that Mindjet MindManager helps me do in an hour the kind of strategic business planning that used to take me days." Howard Kamerer, COO Read The Case Study
	Amaox "We were faced with few resources to perform a Herculean task. The relationships between and among the members had to be clearly mapped out so that everyone in the consortium—and potential funding agencies—could clearly understand what we were trying to create and how we would organize the work. I had tried to do this all with just words. But it was too complex. They say a picture is worth 1000 words. If that's true, then visual maps are worth 5000 words." Milton Smith, MD, President Read The Case Study

	Aon Asia "MindManager has saved our internal customers a lot of time previously spent plowing through big documents to figure out where to begin (projects).

	DFS Group: a Division of Louis Vuitton "The biggest benefit we get from mapping is the way it creates a very participatory meeting environment, enabling our teams to quickly capture best thinking and make those ideas immediately actionable.

	Douglas Stewart Co., Inc. "The interesting thing--the real breakthrough MindManager provides--is that it enables us to essentially extend our initial creative brainstorming right into the meeting with the customer.

	Embarcadero Technologies "There are lots of applications and project management tools out there that give you a hierarchical view of information.

Greg Keller, VP of Product Management Read The Case Study
	Federal Aviation Administration "We burn through $15,000 to $20,000 a day, so it makes a big difference if we are able to manage [personnel] efficiently.

Alan Stensland, Eastern Service Area Manager, Hurricane-Response Team Leader Read The Case Study

Timothy Bolwerk, IT Project Manager Read The Case Study
	Genencor International, Inc. "The main benefit [of MindManager] is time savings. We now usually run meetings by projecting a [MindManager] map on the wall, then using it to capture meeting input in a way that everyone can see. You bring people together for a limited time, capture their ideas and information, set action items and assignments, and everyone leaves the meeting with a clear understanding of what was accomplished. It's amazing to be able to go from inputting information to reaching agreement all in a single meeting." Todd Becker, Head of International Delivery Systems Read The Case Study

	PM Solutions / PM College "Most of our competitors give the client either so much information that it’s difficult to figure out just what the class would look like–or proposals that are so simplistic the client can’t tell what they’d get…What MindManager maps enable us to do is show our clients what the class would actually look like. It’s a real differentiator." Jimmie West, PhD., PMP, Vice President & Dean Read The Case Study
	Professor Jerry Kang, UCLA "If you can’t capture the interactivity of the classroom you are encouraging a passive form of teaching.

Jerry Kang, Professor UCLA School of Law Read The Case Study
	Professor Michael F. Ruffini "MindManager enables faculty, with very little training, to create powerful images to depict complex information and relationships.

Ruffini, Assistant Professor of Educational Technology Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania Read The Case Study
	Projects@Work Davis says the storyboarding (with Mindjet MindManager) helped provoke questions that helped limit the scope of the (the global E-bonding client) project (he was working on). Seeing information laid out graphically made it clear that e-bonding was too expensive... "Without Mindjet we could have identified it with sticky notes," he says. "But I would say $10,000 was saved in not having to develop this, and we probably dropped it three weeks before we would have had we not had these tools." Dave Davis, PMP Read The Case Study
	Radioshack Corporation "MindManager gives me the ability to capture everything I want to do, then to organize it, prioritize it in one visual place, and share it with everyone,” says Philip Godden, RadioShack's Senior Director of Distribution Project Management. “In one map I can show our five most important objectives, the five aspects that support each of those five objectives, and then tie all the objectives together into one clear overall plan."

	WebEx Communications, Inc. "We used to drop our project plans into either spreadsheets or text documents to get all our task lists organized—and then put it all into project management software. It was pretty hard moving things around, though, as project conditions changed. But with MindManager, I have the flexibility of being able to move things around and label things quickly. That’s what I really love about it." Brian Meyer, Project Manager Read The Case Study
