Opine

Opine helps to automate the pre-sales efforts for enterprise software transaction by removing the hassle of managing POCs. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. Related areas on their profile: Financial Exchanges and Transaction Processing. As a very small company team themselves (1 to 10 people), they tend to serve customers of a similar scale best. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Opine is based in Durham, North Carolina. More on tryopine.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.
