This article is advertising spam for a non-notable software comany hawking "Business Service Management" software - in plain English, that's a contact database. No real criteria of notability are shown in the article; it mentions that they have 40 clients (but they're "blue chip" clients!) It also claims that they have been cited as an "example vendor" in a number of obscure publications, and gives another reference backed up only by an email link. Finally, the article contains passages of sickening prose: Interlink Software are leading Business Service Management (BSM) into a new evolutionary phase, offering end-to-end visualization of the health of business services.

• This is not an encyclopaedia article. It's a corporate advertising blurb. Most of it is written in the first person. It offers corporate references to potential customers at the bottom, coming close to abuse of Wikipedia as a resource for conducting business. It comprises a deluge of peacock terms, including the 10 uses of the adjective "best" in describing the subject. It is unsourced and egregiously non-neutral. Its sole author is Interlink (talk · contribs), who has copied this blurb onto xyr user page. Whether or not an encyclopaedia article could be written on this company (I couldn't find any sources after a brief search.), this text should go. Delete.

• Weak Delete as vanity of corporation that is borderline notable. Gartner quotations are interesting, and even significant, but improperly linked with email addresses. Searching Gartner's site (you have to enter "Interlink Software" yourself) gives 12 results, which is not bad at all. But you have to buy the articles to find out what they say. Get rid of the PR hype and I will revise my opinion, but this form of this article has to go. Regrettably an edit is likely currently to leave only the company name.
