Advert-like, no major RS on a search, other than a single mention in Inc, and a whole bunch of press releases. notability is the concern. UseTheCommandLine (talk) 22:14, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Article is about a company that develops and markets specialized clinical trial management systems (CTMS). The chief claims to notability made in the article are that this business ranked as high as #1695 on a Top 5000 list, and that (t)he company was listed among the fastest growing firms from South-Central Wisconsin by the Wisconsin State Journal. They have a website, with social network connections. Their flagship product is enterprise-class. I don't see the claims to notability made in the article as amounting to significant coverage of the kind to get them into an encyclopedia. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 01:30, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - The Inc. 500 rankings have only been in the 1,000s+ and although the second ranking was lower, the third and most recent rose again. Not only are nearly all of the references press releases, Google News found more here (two recent press releases, the second one, EHRIntelligence.com is republished) and here (archives), with this and this being the only non-press releases, and both only talk about opening a new office in India. The press releases go for three pages until it starts showing irrelevant results. To make sure I covered all areas, I searched Google Books (I found irrelevant results) and Google Scholar (found nothing either) and adding "Srini Kalluri" to all of my searches didn't help either. Additional searches also found press releases but no news coverage. It seems they have been receiving attention for their press releases since the name change in 2010 but no actual news coverage. In addition, Google News searches for "PercipEnz Technologies, Inc" show they used press releases even before the name change going as far as 2006 with non-press releases here (investment, payment required) and here (both for an investment in 2007), here (employee promotion in 2008) and here (third result from the top for a new director of finance, NEW FACES NEW PLACES PEOPLE IN BUSINESS). Additional searches for PerciPenz Technologies provided nothing else. In all the years they have existed, I would have expected at least one significant news article.
