Organizations considering Profisee need to establish a solid business case as it might not be suitable for everyone. The annual cost of $2.5 million is substantial, especially for smaller entities. The pricing provided to us was influenced by the extensive implementation across Qatar with a large user base. However, for those with a smaller user base and limited data requirements, exploring alternative, more cost-effective options may be a prudent choice. Overall, I would rate it eight out of ten.

Initially, Profisee was built on top of MDS. If you wanted to work with Profisee, you needed to have Microsoft MDS installed and have a license. You needed to install MDS, then on top of it, you needed to install Profisee. That was true with version 6.5, but from version seven onwards, they decoupled from MDS. Now you no longer need a Microsoft MDS license. They've come up with their own scheme on everything, right from scratch. Profisee is an all-in-one tool. All you need to do is plug in your data points from various data sources and you are good to go. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give this solution a rating of eight.

We handle many aspects of the solution, including initially handling the tool evaluation and then installing it and doing proof of concepts, build-outs, and training of the client. I'm not sure of which version of the solution we're using. I'd advise new users to just have fun with it. Master Data Management can be a daunting endeavor. Just take small use cases, and do a proof of concept and take it end to end. That is the best way to be successful. And we made it fun with the users. We would start off with a little animated video as those in the Foster care system are into early childhood development. We showed them a small use case and we walked them through the process. In the end, we just had a lot of fun. Our biggest lesson was learning how to gain the trust of our client community, especially if they're non-technical. Learning how to gain their trust and make it fun was huge. It's so daunting and typically clients are more concerned about their daily jobs. If you can gain their trust and make it fun they don't resent the process. They got excited and so did we. Just that trust, that initial trust component is key. Overall, I would rate the solution eight out of ten. The only thing they really need to do is to fix the online training so that users can zero in on specific areas a bit easier. Indexing the videos would go a long way towards solving this one issue.
