The Simulation software market is fragmented
• Traditional tools are designed to support one particular modeling approach
System dynamics
Discrete event modeling
Agent based modeling
Dynamicsystems
AnyLogic is not clustered into any single segment like many of these

AnyLogic Help is extensive & effective
Help system supports search
mechanism
Help also includes:• Self-paced tutorials, • FAQ, • Reference Guides on AnyLogic Libraries (Enterprise, Pedestrian, Rail) • Java Documentation on all AnyLogic classes and functions

AnyLogic Support: expert & unlimited!
• Use the built-in Get Support feature
This is modeling support – not just technical support. You can ask “how should I model this
thing” and improve your modeling knowledge, not just debug problems.

AnyLogic competitive advantages
• Develop all kinds of models with one tool– The only multi-method simulation tool. Develop agent-based,
system dynamics, discrete-event models, or any combination, with one tool
– Flexibility (no workarounds, choose the appropriate level of abstraction, connect to Excel, DB, ERP, CRM, use Java)
– Develop and run on Windows, Mac, Linux: AnyLogic is cross-platform, based on industry-standard Eclipse
• Reduce model development cost and time– Fast high-level development without sacrificing scalability and
extensibility– Reusability through fully object oriented structure and libraries
• Also: visual impact of your models + superb support

Survey results (summer 2009)
• Flexibility, multi-method and agent based modeling are our strongest points of interest– Customers also like ability to use Java and Eclipse platform
• The learning curve is the biggest issue to address– Also: need more documentation and tutorials
• Satisfied customers outweigh dissatisfied by 9:1– This is among survey responders, probably higher in the
whole population
• Customers like our support a lot– More than 50% extend maintenance beyond the 1st year– Also value the frequent updates and continuous improvement

What is special about AnyLogic?
• A unique simulation modeling tool– Combines all the major modeling disciplines in use today in a
single high-level application– Massively scalable yet efficient and easy to use– Suitable for both simple proof-of-concept modeling as well as
large-scale solution models
• What is the “any”?– Any Simulation method (DES, SDS, ABM, or Hybrid)– Any Operating system (Windows, Mac, Linux)– Any User (Advanced Programmer, Drag/Dropper, Applet
user)– Any Industry or application– Any questions?
