Have Scardec "Enabled" Models Increased Forecasting Capabilities?

"Scarsin I2E provided the back-end support which allowed us to develop a disease based modeling structure that contained all the dynamics of our marketplace. Management questions could now be answered with ease. We would never have been able to build that level of flexibility into the model and still be able to manage it."

"The model has most definitely increased my ability to forecast. It is designed to make one logically think about the inputs that will be used to ultimately create the forecast. These inputs can then be modified to create different forecast scenarios, and different inputs can be combined to create complex "what if" scenarios. Moreover, it is very simple to document the assumptions behind each input scenario for reference later on."

"We have inputs that align with the questions management asks and outputs that assess the entire market. Could we build this in Excel? Probably, but not to this scale. Could we manage it? Not without Scarsin I2E."

Are You More Efficient Now?

"There are numerous efficiencies created by the software, but the most notable has to be the reporting functions. The ability to export the data to Microsoft PowerPoint has revolutionized my job. We now produce 10 times the reports spending 2-3 days less a month than under our old approach of using Microsoft Office."

"We were struggling to forecast our products on a national annual basis with less than optimal responsiveness to market dynamics. We now analyze every product in our market (current and future) on a regional basis with forecasts for months, quarters and years for the next decade. This could only have been achieved by using Scarsin I2E."

What Benefits Have Been Realized Through Scarsin I2E?

"(1) Easy to log assumptions behind each input/scenario, (2) Easy to modify inputs to create different forecast scenarios, (3) About 75% less time-intensive than traditional forecasting methods, (4) Availability of management reports in PowerPoint."

"There are the obvious manual labor improvements, but the most important benefit to me was peace of mind. We have always talked about how sensitive and confidential our financial analysis is, however our business practices were extremely unregulated. All aspects of Scarsin I2E take into consideration data security. We now have the type of secure environment we have been talking about."
