The installation and ongoing administration of Velocity can be done through a web browser; the administrator isn’t forced into custom software development using APIs. Much of the enterprise complexity is handled by point-and-click from menus.

Concerning speedy deployment, it does take two to tango. The customer
needs to have well-defined goals, technical requirements, and so on.
In our experience, these organizational issues, plus the overhead of
typical large-organization decision cycles, are a major contributor
of delays.

But you don’t need to believe us. Check out this independent
Infoworld review by Mike Heck, who actually installs and tests products:

and read remarks like these:

“In approximately 30 minutes I’d installed Velocity 5 under Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. Vivísimo consolidated some of the management functions and reorganized parts of the Web administration interface, which compressed down to a few hours the process of creating my test scenarios — searching an intranet, external Web sites, two SharePoint portals, and several Microsoft SQL databases. More elaborate customizations required a few days.”

The world does sometimes get better.

This is just another example of a vendor making claims not substantiated in the real world. Don’t worry, you all do it. Funny to read entries like this because you know that most talk like this is NEVER for real.
