"... using this software is recommended for engineers, scientist or material and energy flow managers, which often have to analyze material and energy flows."
c't Magazin 8/07, S. 62

"e!Sankey helps us to visualize complex regional material flow systems in a comprehensible manner. This is useful in our projects with municipalities and counties. Also, since e!Sankey is so easy to learn, students can successfully use it in their seminar papers and student projects."

"It is so useful to elaborate the fluxes here in the plant ... e!Sankey is very easy to use and the information gets so clear. I'm in the last year of university, my course is Environmental Engineering. It's very important to illustrate my works with e!Sankey on my internship at Whirlpool Home Appliances."

The consulting company has experiences in the sectors of renewable energy and fuels. „e-sankey allows us to present complicated co-product allocation methods in a way that helps clients understand fuel LCA issues.  e-sankey is also great for displaying dissimilar mass, energy, and carbon flows through a process.“ – Stefan Unnasch, Life Cycle Associates. The enthusiasm for sankey diagrams is clearly visible on the business cards as well as on their homepage http://www.lifecycleassociates.com/.

The solution allows me not only to analyse material flows but also to use diagrams for process cost calculations. Additionally with the Excel Live Link I can display optimized processes quickly. Most of the calculations behind the processes are made in Excel. Therefore it is ideal for me to visualize different szenarios with e!Sankey elegantly. The visually appealing diagrams convince my customers due to it is evident what really is important in a view.

"We have found e!Sankey very useful in presenting material balances of manufacturing companies in our material auditing procedure. The visual presentation of the masses or costs of material flows is very descriptive and useful for getting an overall pictue of the company's flows. The software is also relatively easy to use. The feature which allows linking with Excel-data was important to us when choosing e!Sankey."

I particularly like the live link to excel version. Once established, the links work instantly. So all the inputs can be by someone who has no software knowledge of e!Sankey.

The way I see this being used in organizations, is to have one person generate these diagrams and everyone else feed this person with the data from different energy models.
