Participating in the eNegotiation tournament showed me the
benefits of automated negotiation in terms of
convenience, efficiency and satisfaction. I would use
SmartSettle in a real negotiation if the need arose. |

"It was a very interesting process. Ours was a bit
abbreviated because of a compacted course scheduled.
Using the software really made you think about the
impact of one negotiation point on the others. Not
having gone through the process before it was a little
difficult with the waiting for a response, but it gave
time to really consider all the options in making a
proposal. The automated proposal generating was
fascinating." - Patricia |

SmartSettle is a unique, effective tool in the often complicated
negotiation
setting. The ability to manipulate and observe the effects
on the various
divisible interests involved in this negotiation allowed me
to visualize
where I could afford to "give and take." |

This eNegotiaion tournament is a great experience for me
to participate the online negotiation. I learned a lot from
the entire negotiation process. SmartSettle is an effective
tool to establish my negotiation plan and help me to go through
the negotiation process. |

I value the opportunity to experience the potential for sophisticated
negotiation tools, and to see what is possible for ODR in the
future. |

"A strength of the SmartSettle program was the ability
to negotiate in contractual situations by assigning
numerical satisfaction ratings to the proposals and
packages. These ratings allowed the parties to have an
understanding of their own interests and determine
whether or not they had reached an acceptable
agreement. The asynchronous nature of the system,
along with the 'changes waiting' prompt, was very
convenient and responsive." |

"With technology moving quickly and the need to settle
disputes in a more
efficient manner, eNegotiaion leads the way in ODR methods.
SmartSettle's
eNegotiaion uses practical and effective tools to help parties
come to
mutual decisions. This was a great learning experience as parties
from all
over the world participate in negotiations without ever meeting
face to
face. I would recommend that companies, businesses and private
parties
consider utilizing eNegotiation to settle disputes." |

SmartSettle is far beyond the competitors. There is no value
left on the table at all with Smartsettle. This eNegotiation
system is my favorite, it is systematic, graphic, rational
based and has a good intuitive interface. The more issues there
are, the more powerful it is. My favorite features are: Even
Swaps, Suggestions, Tuning with Satisfaction Graphs, and the
package deal. I enjoyed the competition. I am looking forward
to using this system in multiparty negotiations. |

The tournament was a great opportunity to practice negotiations
and to learn about the benefits of negotiation support systems.
Though I was
sceptical about the usfullness of the suggestions and improvements
automatically generated by SmartSettle in the beginning, I
figured out
that these functions facilitate negotiation and improve the
negotiated
solution considerably. They help you to consider options and
trade-offs
formerly unconsidered and to be responsive to your opponents
needs. |

At the beginning we had some technical problems with the
software but also with understanding the meanings of suggestions,
proposals etc. During the negotiation we got used to it. We
enjoyed the SmartSettle option for writing comments and discussion.
The graphic view was helpful for visualise the stage of the
different discussion points.
The negotiation ran very fair and always in time. It was a
pleasure to deal with our partner. |

The negotiation tournament has been a great experience. The
training, the tournament and SmartSettle gave me a new insight
in negotiations. Getting to a mutually satisfying agreement
without ever meeting or even talking to one another is definitely
one of the strong sides of SmartSettle and shows the potential
of ENS. |

I found the competition to be a tremendous learning experience.
I have used
other ODR sites and none of them offers the power of SmartSettle.
With power
goes complexity and the relatively steep learning curve for
SmartSettle is
well worth the effort. The competition helped my learning process
immensely. |

The eNegotiations competition has given me a chance to experiment
with an excellent negotiations tool, SmartSettle. The competition
and the SmartSettle
tool highlighted that a critical aspect of negotiations is
the inter-dependencies between negotiations issues, not just
the issues by themselves. The competition has been an entirely
enjoyable and stimulating
experience. |

It took a bit of experimenting to understand how to manipulate
the formulae initially. Then it became very easy. I like the
way the system allows you to analyze the issues according to
the client's priorities. |

The eNegotiation was fun...SmartSettle is a powerful, fast,
and efficient tool. SmartSettle is an economic no-brainer for
my business; it's like having a calculator while others are
left counting on their fingers. |

I just can't believe it! I would encourage everyone to try
the negotiation/mediation. I gained valuable insights through
this rewarding experience. |
