Return on Investment

Our prospects and clients are often very interested in what their “ROI” will be if they sign up for a subscription to Foundationsearch.

Clearly, we are just as interested, because we do not want to sell a product that is not strongly financially beneficial to our clients.

Of course, we hear of client “wins” often in the course of our interactions with the thousands of users and clients we service, but we wanted to do a more conclusive study of the benefits of FoundationSearch usage.
