Large, complex, multi-model systems can be built on your desktop for planning, evaluation and control. Systems are:

• Auditable
• Manageable
• Responsive to change
• Long lasting
• Resistant to error

Code Blue provides the professional modeller with a tool which takes
you beyond the confines of the spreadsheet.

The diagram above illustrates this point. As the task becomes more complex, it becomes increasingly difficult to solve using the spreadsheet approach.

The overall concepts and decision making issues are the starting point in any DSS undertaking. The modeller can continue at this level of thinking while taking care of detail as needed.

As a result:

• Models express the underlying intent of the modeller and are more quickly understood and audited.
• Models are more generic in construction and wide ranging in their application. Fewer, smaller models are needed to implement a system.
