Do your analytic tools sharpen or dull your competitive edge? Business Analytics Suite (part of Vanguard System) is a modeling and simulation platform that delivers above-market capabilities for above-market outcomes.

In building Monte Carlo simulation models, you have three basic options:

Building from scratch allows for high-performance models, but development costs can be prohibitive and the resulting models are difficult to update. Spreadsheet models are easier to build, but performance is limited. Vanguard offers the best of both worlds.

Business Analytics Suite combines the ease of spreadsheet modeling with the power of custom tools. Our solution handles projects hundreds of times larger than spreadsheet models and runs simulations thousands of times faster. Our collaborative environment kicks it up further by opening the door to diverse contributors from across the enterprise. This drives efficiency in the modeling process and increases the accuracy of results, especially for large undertakings. In short, Vanguard’s enterprise-class modeling solutions remain head-and-shoulders above the fray, unmatched in capacity, speed, and accuracy.

Imagine linking together all of the individual spreadsheet models you’ve built to create an enterprise model. This would reveal how risks in one project area are affected by other projects, or reveal ahead of time what problems will arise when different projects compete for the same resources.

Portfolio modeling requires a level of capacity well beyond that of spreadsheets. It also requires an architecture that links together models built by different people using different time frames, currencies, units of measure, and so on. Vanguard makes this possible through a component-based, collaborative modeling infrastructure.
