Solutions for Complex Problems
Simulation and optimization are fast becoming the techniques of choice for solving complex problems. These powerful techniques allow better, more informed decisions in uncertain situations. They guide decisions on what to buy, where to invest, how much to produce and how to allocate resources - all in rapidly changing, risk-filled environments.

One Model - Many Users
With simulation and optimization, many times a standard model is used over and over by different users. Each user changes the model inputs and generates new results. For example, a financial planning model that simulates the future value of a stock portfolio could be used by thousands of different users, each with a different investment mix. The simulation model stays the same use-to-use; only the model inputs (each user's "portfolio") change. Another example would be a single corporate financial planning model accessible worldwide, with individual operating units entering their own input parameters to the overall simulation.

Add Analytics - Then Deploy
The challenge for the developer of simulation and optimization applications is to include the necessary analytics that a model requires without building the technology from "scratch." The model then must be delivered to the end users, wherever they may be, via a corporate network or the Internet. Users can then enter the necessary input data, run analyses and use the results to make better decisions.

With this in mind, Palisade Corporation provides the most comprehensive set of simulation and optimization tools for server-based applications available today. By using the appropriate toolkit, developers can easily enhance their web and network applications with the latest simulation and optimization technologies. Models run using these tools are fast and scalable, ready for the demands of the most processing-intensive web environments.
