Vanguard System

The Vanguard System™ is a business planning application that captures management estimates and company know-how from individuals throughout your organization and merges this knowledge into high-level business forecast models. By combining all of the basic quantitative methods in management with features of spreadsheets, artificial intelligence tools, and math applications, Vanguard delivers an advanced business modeling system.

Vanguard's Web-based architecture makes it possible for individuals across your organization to collaborate on business planning and analysis.

Users interact with the Vanguard System through either Vanguard Studio™ or a standard Web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.). Contributors use Studio to capture knowledge in the form of models that the Vanguard Server™ manages. End-users interact with models using any Web browser.
