River Logic’s Academic Initiative – Enterprise Optimizer for Microsoft® Office®

Enterprise Optimizer (EO) for Microsoft Office is an educational version of River Logic’s enterprise planning and predictive modeling platform, Enterprise Optimizer. This technology gives professors, students, operations researchers, and managerial accountants a point of entry into advanced constraint-based process and financial modeling.

 

Business models created in EO for Microsoft Office are compatible with River Logic’s Enterprise Optimizer and EO Server, so there’s no need to reconstruct models if an upgrade is desired.*

 

EO for Microsoft Office imports and exports data directly to and from Microsoft® Excel® and Access®. It uses advanced mathematics and rules engines to reveal unprecedented levels of insight. Users can know with certainty how to positively impact performance and increase profitability. River Logic provides online training, sample business models, and access to its user community at no extra cost. We’ll also help in developing training guides and curriculum that use EO for Microsoft Office.

 

We invite faculty members, research professionals at accredited institutions, and qualifying members of standards organizations to learn how they can use EO for Microsoft Office in their classroom/organization. Please contact us to learn more about our Academic Initiative.

Academic Initiative – Case Study

Professor George Manners, Ph.D. of Kennesaw State University uses EO for Microsoft Office in his classroom to demonstrate key management accounting concepts.

 

Students are presented with his Six Levels of Financial Knowledge framework. Dr. Manners’ course addresses “score-keeping” through the creation and analysis of basic periodic financial statements, and then it advances into the use of true marginal economic decision-making and system optimization. For information on demonstrating key management accounting concepts in the classroom, you may contact Dr. Manners directly at gmanner [at] kennesaw [dot] edu.

 

“I highly recommend Enterprise Optimizer to anyone responsible for improving their company’s performance; and quantifying these improvements in financial terms. The system’s integrated modeling capabilities enable analysts, accountants, and managers to accurately identify their company’s true profit drivers and the interdependent relationships impacting these drivers.”

 

*The only limitation of this educational offering is model size.
