Client #1:
Perigean Technologies has developed some remarkable and novel uses of existing tools for knowledge capture and representation. Their vision for corporate applications of Concept Mapping is one that takes seriously the notion of the knowledge-based organization. Setting them well apart from the crowd is their focus on grounding the activity on solid scientific evidence rather than spin or hype. This is refreshing. They have a keen insight into the knowledge preservation strategies that businesses will need to succeed in the future, and an appreciation of how to integrate the strategies in to the work that must be accomplished. They are a shining star in knowledge management: capturing, organizing and presenting expert knowledge. I am confident they will enrich the methodology, taking it beyond what I and others have accomplished, taking the field to new levels of productivity, efficiency and applicability.

Client #2:
Perigean Technologies possesses a keen sense of the ingredients that comprise an effective human/ software system, and they are skilled in capturing, organizing, and distilling-through well-founded processes – the specific ingredients that will provide their customers with the maximal opportunities for insight and innovation. As a subcontractor and key member of the General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems Team on an important contract, Perigean Technologies is helping to define and develop a new software tool that supports one of our customer's current business processes, and which will help our customer to achieve new synergies across a broad spectrum of business practices that are, collectively, critical to their mission success. Perigean Technologies is a tremendous asset to our team!

Client #3:
Perigean Technologies is a standout. They are a quick study in new domains, and able to take in volumes of information and rapidly identify the crux of the issues. They are responsive and responsible. There are very few people in this field who can turn around a good, thorough product as quickly as they can. I trust them to represent me to my customers, and that's perhaps the highest praise I can give them.

Client #4:
Perigean Technologies has been a tremendous resource. Our unit had rapidly developed a capability that has since made major impact on the Global War on Terror. During this process we didn't have the time to think about training the end users until it was almost time for them to deploy. We needed to efficiently capture the know-how of the few critical experts who developed, refined and tested this completely new biometric tool set. We had months of know-how and lessons learned, and needed to quickly turn that into a total instructional product, one that became part of the system and goes forward where the experts can't be. Perigean Technologies' innovative approach to capturing expertise and turnkey product development is exactly what we needed. They provided a deployable product in very short order, and were flexible to our high operational tempo. Thanks to their efforts, we're seeing a dramatic decline in trouble calls from around the globe. The efficient operation of this tool set is identifying terrorists around the World. Next time we are going to bring them in early in the development process so we get it right from the start.

Client #5:
Working with Perigean Technologies, the Security Analysis and Risk Management Association (SARMA) was able to develop an elegant approach to a long-standing problem in the security profession – the lack of common lexicon. Using a variety of concept mapping techniques, SARMA began successfully addressing a problem that has stymied the profession for decades. I don't think we would have been successful without Perigean Technologies. Their creativity and clear thinking made our project a great success.

Client #6:
The Cmapology course that Perigean Technologies presented to our staff provided us with technical abilities and a conceptual foundation to use this methodology in a range of our projects. We now have a new way to understand and represent expertise that allows us greater depth in our projects and facilitates our thinking as we approach new work opportunities. We've also been able to expand our use of concept mapping into better internal project design and planning. The great follow up provided has enabled us to fully exploit the training.
