Vanguard System (formerly DecisionPro Professional) picks up where your spreadsheet leaves off combining key quantitative analysis methods into a graphical interface that lets you easily model any business problem. Vanguard Studio includes powerful functionality for the power user through a variety of optional add-ins: forecasting, decision tree analysis, monte carlo simulations and linear programming optimization.
Visual Approach to Business Modeling.
Like a spreadsheet, Vanguard Studio is a general business analysis tool. Vanguard Studio significantly increases your analysis power by letting you model your business problems visually and providing a wide variety of powerful analysis tools not available in spreadsheets. It also processes complex problems much faster than a spreadsheet is able to.
Easily analyze and communicate business problems using Vanguard Studio's tree structure.
Problems that can be difficult to model on spreadsheets can now easily be "divided and conquered" and clearly communicated to others.
Statistical Analysis: All of the most widely used statistical data analysis methods such as mean, standard deviation, min, max, correlation, etc.
Database Connectivity to link your models to external data sources. Vanguard Studio can be set up to automatically read data from an input source, analyze and process it based on analysis models that you have set up and then output results.
Numeric Calculus using Integral and Derivative functions.
Units of Measure functions to convert between different measuring systems (e.g. Metric to US).
Vanguard Studio's forecasting add-in includes a wide range of time series and regression analysis forecasting methodologies including moving averages, exponential smoothing, regression curve fitting, Fourier spectral analysis techniques and more.
Use the Forecast Wizard to guide you through choosing the optimal method for your data.
Use the Batch Forecast Wizard to forecast hundreds of thousands of items at one time.
Automate your forecasts by setting Vanguard Studio up to automatically import your data, choose the best forecasting method, calculate desired inventory levels and export the results to your database.
Decision Trees are ideal for modeling and solving business problems where you face uncertainty and the possibility of several outcomes occurring. Vanguard Studio's Decision Tree module helps you model the various possible outcomes, apply probabilities to them and analyze the outcomes that will most likely provide favorable results. The Markov Simulation tool that is also included in this add-on lets you run simulations to model a business situation with changing states.
specify your objective and constraints in plain English form unlike other typical optimization tools.
Integer Program Optimization for optimizing problems involving integer/whole number variables.
