Client Testimonials

“With IMPLAN Cloud, you receive more than a product, you get the experience of their team! Not only do they have a phenomenal platform that is constantly being improved and updated, but as an IMPLAN customer, you receive exceptional customer service every time!”
- Jennifer Green, Director, Jacksonville State University
“We use IMPLAN Cloud for all of our Economic Impact Analyses because it offers us advantages over other economic impact models. Other models do not show a breakdown of impacts by industry, and do not include information needed to estimate tax impacts on; counties, municipalities, special tax districts, or state and federal government. Impacts by industry and tax impacts allow us to demonstrate bottom line ROI to our clients’ stakeholders and investors. IMPLAN Cloud also allows us to conduct multi-regional modeling.”
- Trygve Vigmostad, Director, National Community Development Services
