Simulation technology has a broad application potential, being capable to model any process including all the complexities in any market. Simulation model builders who have several years of experience using a simulation software package, tend to think of it as their religion. Model building in any general purpose simulation software package, is a combination of skill, experience and creativity. This results in unique models for almost every new application. The real end users of simulation technology are not model builders, but business managers and analysts who need to make decisions or give advice on complicated issues. Most commercial simulation packages can do all the necessary basics to create succesfull models. End users have no interest in which simulation software is used, they simply want a model that is correct, easy to adjust, easy to experiment with, and easy to interpret the model's results.Based on these observations, my genuine believe that simulation technology has so much to offer to organizations and that its true power is yet to be untapped, I started thinking about what it would take in order to create and deliver simulation technology into an organization as part of a decision support system. Since its conception, Systems Navigator has designed its solutions and services in such a way, that our end customers can receive the best value for their simulation investment. Our solutions have helped them in making better decisions on a lot of complex issues in a large variety of markets. The initial trust that we have received from our customers, we have used to create a unique development platform to enable any simulation model, to be turned into an operational decision support system within an enterprise. This unique platform, Scenario Navigator, is the perfect way for organizations to start untapping the real power of simulation, and use it over and over again!
In this forum I look forward to your comments and feedback on our strategy; is Systems Navigator headed in the right direction?
Furthermore I would like to ask all of you to contribute as much as possible in this "Discussion" forum; state your questions, drop your ideas, share your view on our industry. This will help us all in realizing the untapped powers of simulation and ensure that organizations "Choose the right direction!".
Thank you in advance for all your contributions!
