Data Security

Benefit: Delivers data very securely using our DecisionBlocks MultiCryption™
             component. This increases peace of mind knowing the data is resistant
             to all forms of attack, including brute force.

Benefit: Avoids problems by sending data in virus-proof files. This increases peace
             of mind knowing your data will not be compromised by viruses.

Benefit: Provides a data audit trail when doing edits or updates, which enables
             changes to be evaluated and discussed, and mistakes to be identified
             and corrected. This saves time and hassle and increases productivity.

Data and Application Integration

Benefit: Pulls together the data needed no matter where and how it is stored and
             rendered/reported. This helps save time, money and hassle, and increase
             productivity

Benefit: Enables data to be exchanged across all platforms, regardless of the
             underlying networks and telecom infrastructure. This helps save time,
             money and hassle, and increase productivity.

Benefit: Is able to work in conjunction with other applications. This saves money and
             increases productivity by allowing an organization to select the best software
             tools for the job.

Peer-to-Peer Networks

Benefit: Unlike web-based computing where a breakdown in the central server
             can effectively bring down the entire network, in a P2P network, a
             malfunction in one or even many individual computers may have little or
             no effect on the network as a whole. This increases peace of mind knowing
             the network will "endure."
Benefit: Helps protect data from destruction since it is much less likely the data
             would be damaged if it is distributed among multiple locations,
             rather than everything being stored in just a few places.
Benefit: Saves time, money and hassle by reducing demands of central servers.

Collaborative Networking

Benefit: Helps increase productivity and improve decisions by enabling
             diverse groups of people to collaborate. This stimulates innovativeness
             by increasing the amount of creative ideas, perspectives, and other
             relevant non-redundant information from which to support decisions.

Benefit: Helps reduce miscommunications between people sharing data and models
             across functional units, departments, organizations, social groups, regions,
             etc. by adjusting the information as it flows from one place to another. This
             helps increase productivity and lessen problems cause by misunderstandings.
Benefit: Helps stabilize requirements across functional silos by allowing different
             terms to be used for the same concept. This means, for example, that
             performance measures can be utilized across locations without disturbing
             regional differences in how things are done and how data are interpreted
             and used.

Model Development and Exchange

Benefit: Helps teams build effective and innovative analytic models through
             collaboration.
Benefit: Helps teams evaluate the models by examining, challenging and discussing
             the assumptions built into the models, the formulas that crunch the
             numbers, and the results they generate.
Benefit: Helps teams improve and evolve the models through ongoing examination,
             comparison and modification.
Benefit: Helps managers and their teams use the models to respond quickly and
             effectively to threats and opportunities.
Benefit: Helps spark innovation and team cohesiveness through their collaborative
             efforts.

Benefit: Allows multiple people to input data into models as needed and without
             difficulty. Having a quick, easy and convenient way to do this is important
             when different people have access to different data the model requires.
Benefit: Saves time and hassle when using models for decision support.

Benefit: Automates the delivery and importing of data into different models, which
             save time and hassles.
Benefit: Saves time and hassle when using multiple models for decision support.
Benefit: Helps stimulate productivity and improve performance by offering different
             data analyses and views to increase understanding.

Benefit: Assures the right models are used in the right situations, and adjusts them
             for current conditions. In this way, decision makers get the information they
             need, focused on what is important now.
Benefit: Saves time and hassle when using multiple models for decision support
             under changing conditions.
Benefit: Helps stimulate productivity and improve performanceby adjusting models to
             conditions for increased understanding.

Interoperability

Benefit: Saves time, money and hassle, and increases productivity, by enabling data
             to be exchanged across all platforms, regardless of the underlying
             networks and telecom infrastructure.

Data Transmission and Access

Benefit: Allows comprehensive data updates to be distributed quickly and cheaply
             in very small, secure e-mails attachments. This saves time and money
             during data transport.
Benefit: Provides a quick and efficient way for handheld wireless devices with lower
             bandwidth and processing capacity to access data.
Benefit: Adds almost no network traffic, so data updates can be distributed to many
             users without taxing/clogging networks. This saves time and money.
Benefit: Enables anywhere-anytime information access by remote users, which allows
             workers in low bandwidth environments and those who are occasionally
             connected - including mobile workforces - to access the information they
             need, anywhere-anytime, quickly and easily. This boosts productivity.

Benefit: Performs data analysis and enables report viewing even when not
             connected to a network. This offline capability saves time, money and hassle,
             and increases productivity.

Benefit: Enables data input even when not connected to a network. This offline
             capability saves time, money and hassle, and increases productivity.

Benefit: Provides unprecedented speed during the user experience when sending and
             viewing reports.

Benefit: Distribute data to many people using secure e-mail attachments. This saves
             money and hassle.

Benefit: Reduces processing requirements of XML data. This saves time and reduces
             the strain on networks.

Workflow, Curriculum and Change-Management Functions

Benefit: Increases productivity and learning by automating workflows and helping
             people learn from experience.

Benefit: Increases productivity by educating key stakeholders, including employees,
             prospects and customers.

Benefit: Increases awareness by evaluating what happens when different
             strategies and tactics are executed, thereby affording an opportunity to
             make adjustments for productivity gains.

Software Deployment and Operation

Benefit: Saves money, time and hassle with quick, simple installation. Requires little
              or no IT department involvement.

Benefit: Saves money, time and hassle and increases productivity with our easy to
              use application interfaces.
