Enterprise Optimizer®

Enterprise Planning and Predictive Modeling Software

Enterprise Optimizer® (EO) is an enterprise planning and predictive modeling and analysis platform. It is the backbone of our Corporate Performance Management (CPM) solutions: Integrated Business Planner™, Trade Promotion Optimization (TPO) Planner™, and Integrated Delivery System (IDS) Planner™.

Enterprise Optimizer is built on Constraint-Oriented Reasoning (COR), an approach for quickly building high-value analytical solutions in complex problem domains. With COR, problems are specified as constraints expressed with an intuitive, natural language specification. The specification can combine multiple forms of constraint representations, including graphical, symbolic, quantitative, and relational. Unlike conventional approaches, where modelers use visual techniques to define and sequence equations, COR automatically generates mathematical representations of all system constraints and their interactions. This enables users to easily change the problem they are solving without requiring them to restructure any mathematical representations or redefine input and decision variables.

Enterprise Optimizer drives our differentiation and yields significant commercial advantages to partners and clients, including:

Differentiator	Advantage to Partners	Advantage to Clients
Scalable, Holistic, Integrated Representation: model full financials, processes, and market constraints simultaneously without sacrificing complexity	Opportunity to develop white space solutions that leverage existing data and methodologies – from simple optimization to enterprise-wide solutions Competitive differentiation for existing products and service businesses Increase accuracy in representing a client’s business	Make assumptions about business actions and understand the full economic consequences of the decisions Align all stakeholders to common financial goals Forward-looking detailed costing illustrates realistic behavior of costs vs. assumptions
Embedded Expert Knowledge: unique analyses (marginal profitability, non-linear continuous curves, flexible attributes), data checks, infeasibility processing, seasonality	Support for high value optimization analyses Enhance client value and differentiation with unique features	Optimize decisions to company constraints and financials Marginal values quantify profit opportunities Non-linear curves allow realistic representation of market behavior
Visual Programming: natural language-based translation and mathematical representation requiring no programming or sequencing of equations	Minimize time to market Lower cost of solution development and maintenance Faster learning curve and client training Build larger more complex cross-functional models	Extend planning solutions to include other applications, on a single platform High-level of data integrity across model Complex representations in easy-to-manage environment
Robust Decision Support: modeling flexibility and fast scenario analysis	Solve for one or multiple objective functions without redefining equations Cross-functional analyses with multiple overlapping input and decision variables	Effectively quantify trade-offs and set targets across all silos from a single representation Understand root-causes Capture and distribute knowledge of what drives value creation for your business and set priorities with this knowledge

Enterprise Optimizer allows companies to seamlessly connect corporate performance management, financial planning processes, and operational planning systems. With EO, enterprises can:

Achieve greater accuracy, predictability, and accountability
Increase business alignment through the sharing of performance management strategies throughout the enterprise
Quantify business risk and rapidly adapt to meet evolving business requirements
Improve operational efficiencies, thereby reducing operating costs
Maximize profitability
