Software, along with one of its partners and a thought
leader in the area of Probability Management, delivered
five presentations about the Vanguard SystemTM at the 2008 INFORMS
Conference on Operations Research Practice in Baltimore,

professional society for the field of Operations Research
- the discipline of applying advanced analytical methods
to help make better business decisions.
The conference presentations discussed how the
Vanguard System is used by companies in a wide variety of
industries (from aerospace to biotech), departments (from
engineering to marketing), and applications areas (from
cost modeling to strategic planning). The presentations
included:
- Strategic Forecasting: An Application of
Collaborative Modeling and Simulation (Presenter:
Brian Lewis, Vanguard Software)
- Enterprise Modeling and Simulation (Presenter:
Rob Suggs, Vanguard Software)
- Probability Management: A Cure for the Flaw of
Averages (Presenter: Sam Savage, Stanford
University) (Delivered twice)
- Simulation Methods to Improve Alignment of Supply
Chain with Consumer Demand for Novel Products
(Presenter: Michael Kubica, Applied Quantitative
Sciences)
"As experts in both modeling theory and applied
business management, INFORMS attendees clearly recognize
the value that an enterprise modeling and simulation
solution like Vanguard brings to their
organizations," said Rob Suggs, CEO of Vanguard
Software. "We certainly look forward to interacting
with our customers and conference attendees next
year."
The Vanguard System is a comprehensive business
solution for improving the quality, reliability, and
speed of management decisions. It does this by helping
companies collaborate with colleagues on important plans,
analyze alternatives using state-of-the-art modeling and
simulation techniques, automate routine decisions using
expert system technology, and improve overall management
effectiveness by adding structure to a normally chaotic
process. Business improvement is all about working
smarter. Vanguard brings together the people, analytics,
