Business optimization research


Organizations must constantly adapt to rapidly changing business requirements and increasing cost pressure. They need to optimize their business processes to allocate scarce resources more efficiently. In today's businesses, many processes are complex. Accurate data for optimization efforts is sometimes lacking, and potential investments can be highly risky. Customers need our assistance to optimize their processes and make quantitative simulations and predictions. Using our skills in predictive modeling, stochastic optimization, portfolio theory, and simulation, we provide our customers with highly customized solutions which address their business needs.

Portfolio risk management is a computation-intensive area where we use predictive modeling and stochatic optimization techniques to identify and assess risk drivers of projects portfolios and their financial impact on an enterprise.

We started this work about two years ago as a pilot with BCS EMEA (our internal customer). We are now working with the BTE organization to broaden the business and geography scope of the project.

We are also starting a project with ING Bank (The Netherlands). In this project we will use Deep Computing technology to help ING benchmark and prioritize its IT investments.
