Our solutions enable Managers to identify and implement sound investment analysis and operations strategies to reduce total system costs and enhance system performance.

Why was SCA created?

Traditional methods of both planning and decision support are based on individuals cobbling together operational and financial information to create a framework in which typically one problem can be solved or a planning exercise can be conducted. Such frameworks are usually not robust enough to enable multiple planning and decision-support requirements that are commonly required within an enterprise. These one-off evaluations often involve significant amount of effort to put it together and depend on the individual judgment on the analytical framework.
