Partners

River Logic's OEM Partner Program

OEM Partner Program members are Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) that embed or integrate River Logic’s modeling and analytics platform, Enterprise Optimizer®, or embed or integrate River Logic’s business intelligence, performance management, or analytics solutions within their enterprise software applications. The applications may be sold as installable products, hosted solutions, or software-as-a-service (SaaS).

River Logic takes an SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) stance which benefits clients by extending the value of deployment. This approach eliminates unnecessary complexity while building a strong foundation for future growth. Our position on SOA allows clients to find value at every stage of the SOA continuum:

Establish greater agility in departmental areas
Extend, optimize, and innovate across enterprise processes encompassing people, processes, and information
Transform business modeling to support the global enterprise
Gain insight to respond to market forces with little or no human intervention

OEM Partners also include Data Service Providers (DSPs) which process clients’ data or other third-party data to produce reports. The DSP is authorized to access, use, and embed/integrate River Logic software. Any required licenses are licensed by the DSP to clients.

The Constraint-based Modeling Platform – Enterprise Optimizer

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
