• Advanced model allocations ACE allows the development of very sophisticated drivers. These drivers can be developed to take full advantage of all ‘metadata’ available in corporate data sources.
• Multi-dimensional reporting
All cubes, dimensions and reports are developed after the model has been completed. So, if a new report, cube or dimension is required, you don’t have to rebuild the model. Cube building, reporting and dash board development is all done in a standard web browser. ACE can also auto-detect dimensions and measures greatly simplifying the cube design process and easily allows multiple models to be combined in one cube for trend analysis.
• Multiple modeling capabilities Not only can ACE support
traditional, historical cost models, but it can also support predictive models, budget planning models, environmental accounting models and profitability models.
• Microsoft® Office
integration
Business Analysts live inside spreadsheets and use it as their primary tool for data analysis, so ACE provides plug-ins for MS Excel® and MS Access® to allow
bulk data uploads and downloads. ACE also allows analysts to connect MS Excel® directly to the underlying
cubes over the internet, so that reporting and analysis can be performed in a familiar environment.
ACE benefits
• Automated modeling routines
In addition to decreasing the amount of time taken to implement a model, automated modeling routines allow the model to automatically capture changes in the business and significantly reduce the amount of manual maintenance required. • Very flexible
modeling environment The software can adapt to certain businesses instead of the traditional resource/activity/ cost object structure.
This flexibility allows you to include more modules, such as finance/HR/assets/activities/ products/customers, etc. This means the software can adapt to your business rather than the other way around.

How we move you
Take higher education to new heights
Our University Management & University Predictive Models are designed for higher education administration. These solutions combine software-as-a-service with methodology and consulting expertise for a rapid implementation, usually within six weeks. We build an enterprise-wide financial model that provides detailed cost and margins per faculty or school, right down to individual subjects or courses taught.
Successful operations for the military
Our ACE Cost-Wise Readiness/Preparedness solution is based on over 12 years of experience designing, implementing and using large-scale, enterprise-wide cost and predictive models. The fundamental concept from a military perspective is to deliver the maximum readiness at the minimum cost. Our solution includes both software and methodology to objectively measure readiness and the cost included in delivery.
The ideal equation for the environment
With the increasing focus on environmental measures (carbon usage, water usage, waste creation) organizations need to know how these measures will impact their bottom line, as well as managing these factors into their customers’ supply chains. The Environmental Management Solution resolves these issues by providing mathematical models that link emission profiles with profitability, by product or customer.
The right connections for the telecom industry
We’ve also developed new leading edge solutions that are tailored to meet the needs of the telecom industry. The ACE Telecommunications Model is the perfect solution. It provides detailed costing systems that a telco needs in a constantly changing environment.
Igniting the oil and gas industry
We have developed two dynamic ACE solutions for the oil and gas industry, including software and methodology.
• Opex forecasting
This model projects the operating expenses for an oil/gas platform up to and beyond 20 years if required. It includes a range of inputs, work breakdown structures, production & manpower profiles and maintenance plans. • Decommissioning models
These models have been developed to capture the myriad complex methods of decommissioning oil fields globally.
