What is PASS^TM?

PASS^TM is an organizational analysis system. It's an efficient and effective replacement for high-priced, high maintenance consultants. With PASS^TM you maintain control of the engagement, you own the data, and you get an accurate, honest, and unbiased set of recommendations for solving your critical performance issues.

What is the difference between 30-day Demo, QuickPASS^TM and ComPASS^TM?

Based on customer feedback, Proofpoint developed flexible product options that enable you to select the system that’s right for your business needs.

30-day Demo is a no-risk opportunity to test key features of the system. With 30-day Demo you’ll test much of the QuickPASS^TM functionality. Integrates with QuickPASS^TM and ComPASS^TM quickly and easily.

QuickPASS^TM is a lite version of ComPASS^TM that enables rapid assessments of pressing organizational performance issues, when ballpark assessments are all that’s needed. Integrates with ComPASS^TM quickly and easily.

ComPASS^TM is the comprehensive performance analysis support system, best used for complex or high-risk issues. ComPASS^TM contains QuickPASS^TM as an option, for when a quick assessment is all you need.

Will I have to work with IT to ensure PASS^TM is compatible with our IT systems?

Proofpoint’s products are web-based and secure, eliminating the need for IT investment or involvement. If you have a computer with internet connection, your PC is ready for PASS^TM.

What if I want PASS^TM installed inside my firewall?

Proofpoint can work with your IT organization to support this requirement.

Where is my project data stored?

Complete bandwidth redundancy via multiple OC-48 peering partners.
Complete network device redundancy providing multiple network paths to any destination.
Enterprise Class routers and switches provide state-of-the-art scalabilty and management features.

State-of-the-art physical security including biometric idenitity verification, zoned access, and monitoring.
Complete data center systems redundancy including zoned cooling, power, and fire suppression systems.

Exactly what information does PASS^TM provide?

PASS^TM provides you with the solutions you'll need to effectively solve your performance issues. PASS^TM gives you an estimate of the number of internal people you'll need, the general time requirements, the estimated internal and external costs, and the projected ROI.

How accurate are the PASS^TM results?

PASS^TM has been reviewed by recognized leaders in the organizational performance field. PASS^TM supports management art by adding a heavy dose of management science. As a result, if you enter valid data, you can expect PASS^TM results to be between 70-100% accurate.

How much training does my team need to effectively use PASS^TM?

That depends on the experience of the team. Proofpoint provides a range of advisory support to temporarily augment your team. That support includes remote coaching by phone and email, to actually walking through an entire project with a novice user.

What if we need additional guidance?

Proofpoint is able to provide you with industry leading advisory support. However, unlike consultants you might hire, Proofpoint ultimately wants you to be self-sustaining.

Sometimes it is difficult to communicate the need for change inside an organization. Can Proofpoint help?

PASS^TM provides you with very detailed – but not cumbersome – methods for assessing sponsorship and stakeholder support, as well as an assessment of your organization's readiness for change. If you think the message needs to be delivered by an external source, or if you just need coaching on how to deliver the message, Proofpoint can help.

How quickly will I see the results from a PASS^TM analysis?

That depends on the scope and complexity of the issue you are analyzing. Typically, PASS^TM drives the user to select goals that can be accomplished in 90 days or less. It is likely that your PASS^TM implementation will pay for itself after the implementation of the results from one or two analyses.

Can I self-administer the cost and time factors underlying the PASS^TM application?

This option is possible via some PASS^TM packages.

Should Proofpoint be our source for the recommended solutions provided by PASS^TM?

Not necessarily. Proofpoint's primary business is providing the world's best performance analysis software suite. While the Proofpoint team does have industry leading capabilities in many functional areas, the solution may require a specialist. Proofpoint can introduce you to specialists should the solution require them.
