Do you want to increase your productivity? Do you want to write software
that is correct? Then your company can use Ada!
That Ada will improve your productivity is fact, not mere claim. If you
need some published justification about Ada's efficacy, then see

Check out this list:
http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/FAQ/learning.html#books
I think that David Naiditch's book, Rendevous with Ada 95, is very easy.
John Barnes book, Programming in Ada 95, is also a good introduction.
If you want a heavy book (literally and figuratively), then Norm Cohen's
Ada as a Second Language is very, very good, but is probably better as the
second Ada book to read, and after you've been programming in Ada for a
while.
