Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, invention is a method for analyzing portfolios of distressed financial assets for the purpose of bidding to acquire those assets. The method utilizes a network-based system including a server system coupled to a centralized database and at least one client system. The method comprises of various steps from generating cash flow data table from variety of data sources to performing sensitivity analysis using Monte Carlo Simulation Model to provide different scenarios. The method utilizes a variety of assumptions in performing analysis, and exports cash flow projections into a pre-determined format to develop financially attractive bids, which have strong probability of, expected return on investment after taking into account a variety of foreseeable risks.

Abstract: An integrated system organizes a company's experiences, operating procedures, best practices, information sources, competitive information and analytical tools. The goal is increasing profitability within a due diligence process while facilitating ongoing operations. The system incorporates a method for collaborating on due diligence issues to affect knowledge building within due diligence teams. The method includes accessing stored, accumulated knowledge in a repository from prior due diligence exercises, applying to due diligence decisions criteria based on consolidated analytical building blocks of past due diligence exercises and storing newly accumulated knowledge from the current due diligence exercise into the repository of accumulated knowledge. Access to this information is available globally via the internet as well as locally.

Abstract: The invention discloses simulation of a process of discrete events or tasks having a plurality of available resources associated therewith is presented. A database stores a plurality of models, each including a plurality of one or more entity, task, and resource parameter, and dependencies and relationships. A model application communicates with the database and is configured to receive commands from a user, to retrieve one of the plurality of models and the corresponding plurality of one or more entity, task, and resource parameter in response to a user command, to receive input data corresponding to attributes of one or more entity, task, and resource parameter from a business database system, and to generate a simulation model based on the selected business database system and the input data.

Abstract: A method is described for performing and acting on what-if forecasts in a business that includes multiple interrelated business processes.

Abstract: A method is described for affecting changes in a business including a multiple interrelated business processes.

Abstract: A digital cockpit allows a cockpit user to “steer” a business in the same manner that a cockpit of an airplane is used to control the airplane. A number of digital cockpit features enable this functionality. For example, the digital cockpit provides an efficient mechanism for providing prompt reporting regarding a business's past behavior, its current behavior, and its projected future behavior. The digital cockpit uses a suite of business models to provide such information. The digital cockpit further includes mechanisms for allowing a user to carry out desired control of the business by making changes to the business's processes and associated systems. Further, the digital cockpit provides a modular design which allows for the efficient plug-in and modification of business models.
