Simulating for Smarter Solutions

Cloud computing makes digital processing power more economical and easily accessible today

IoT and sensors make data more easily accessible than ever before

Computing power and data enable running effective and useful simulations

Enable ready access to huge amounts of data

Identify situations where cloud-based simulations can make a big business impact

Run simulations to react far faster and better to daily business conditions

Do simulations to discover new business models

Learning from the Early Adopters

Early adopters of cloud simulations have the following characteristics:

Asset management becomes more effective when simulations help predict failures and plan on-time repairs

Customer service and field service gets an overhaul as simulations predict and troubleshoot issues intuitively

Customer experience is improved when companies simulate how the market will respond to new offerings

Use Cases: Delighting Customers

Human capital management is improved by using simulations to recruit better employees and assign them the right roles

Inventory management at far-flung units becomes more intuitive when simulations are used to serve and operate them

Use Cases: Planning Resources

Research and development benefits from simulations that help evaluate designs, test performance, and prevent quality issues

Fraud detection is easier with simulations on enormous data sets that help find and match new activity to identified patterns

Use Cases: Improving Efficiencies

Simulating critical business issues

Practicing strong data management

Identifying Simulation Challenges

Business and technical issues companies face with cloud simulations:

Failing faster to improve sooner

Clearly define the problem that needs to be solved or the question that needs to be answered

Simulate only those problems and questions that have business benefits attached to them

Simulating Critical Issues

Ensure you have the right infrastructure, tools, and processes in place to manage the data required for simulations

Understand that simulations are only as good as the data; so invest time, money, and talent to prime the data optimally

Strengthening Data Management

Remember that simulation models are work in progress and need to be improved with each iteration

Adopt an agile approach and invest resources to ensure the simulation is supervised and refined appropriately

Failing Faster to Improve Sooner

Massive volumes of data is captured and available to organizations today

Affordable computing power makes it easy to use data for simulations

Simulation opportunities exist for all businesses across industries

Organizations need to identify those opportunities to maximize benefits
