exiio - enabling collaborative business modelling

If you've read our about modelling page, or been involved in modelling before, then you probably know that taking a scenario-based approach to your modelling can help you to quickly arrive at the optimal business decisions about some pretty complex issues.

But how do you efficiently create multiple scenarios and manage them in a co-ordinated fashion? If you are doing this on your own in Excel, then you know it can quite messy managing all of those files after a while. If you are want to collaborate with others when you build up your scenarios, then the problems just multiply.

Our collaborative modelling solution, exiio, helps you to overcome these problems:

• Data is stored in a central repository: it is loaded into the Excel model as required and can be shared with colleagues.
• All users get the latest version of the model from a central library, so everybody is using the same business logic.
• Consolidation is automated and easy because data providers are using identical spreadsheets and submit their data to a central repository.
• Detailed, short-term plans can be easily integrated with longer term strategic models.
• There is full scenario and sensitivity analysis management so that different model results can be compared.
• Distributed teams can work on the same models and problems with access restricted to models and scenarios according to policy.
