Why it works
The before-state is concrete and damning: the previous tool regularly failed to deliver solutions, forcing manual schedule building. Winning a formal benchmark against two named IBM solvers gives the competitive switch strong credibility. The story leans toward New Capability because the multi-objective partial-solution feature was not achievable with the incumbents at all, not merely slower.
Steal this
Citing the formal public tender and named benchmark competitors (IBM ILOG CPLEX, IBM ILOG CP Optimizer) as the selection process. This turns vendor selection into a verifiable, third-party-validated proof point rather than a testimonial.
