Announcing Metricus 2.0 — A Giant Step Forward For Decision SupportVancouver, British Columbia — December 3, 2001 — IDELIX™ Software Inc. announced today the commercial availability of Version 2.0 of their decision support software tool, Metricus™.
Metricus facilitates decisions where users must evaluate a number of choices based on a set of criteria. It enables effective decision-making in individual and team environments.
Whether a consumer evaluating the latest video game or house, or business decisions assessing the next company acquisition, target market or VP of Sales, Metricus is applicable in a variety of industries and decisions. It is particularly suitable for use in human resource assessment, purchasing, investment portfolio analysis, and strategy situations.
In an era of Information Overload, reaching a sound decision is no easy process. Layers of data, complexity and multiple alternatives make hard decisions even harder. Effective presentation formats and techniques can quickly and clearly expose the critical information buried in massive amounts of complex data. However, current data and reports, whether graphs or numbers, are often not structured to identify or compare all the criteria necessary for rational and effective decision making.
"A customizable multi-criterion analysis approach, coupled with a unique, highly effective graphical representation in Metricus, offers a way to deal with this complexity. Metricus is a valuable and efficient tool for guiding decision makers and helping them to communicate their decisions," explains Dr. David Baar, CEO of IDELIX Software Inc.
Metricus complements enterprise-level systems and sophisticated data mining tools. It leverages innovative information visualization techniques to help decision makers frame their decision, and explore high-impact, multi-metric visual presentations of the choices. Comparison, validation and control of decisions is easier in this integrated data management and graphical environment.
Building on the early graphical framework of version 1.0, Metricus 2.0 now accepts a wide variety of quantitative and qualitative score types including $ dollars and Yes/No values, as well as custom types that can be user-defined. Data can be imported from Excel, or exported to a variety of file and graph formats to enable presentation and communication of decision evaluations in printed reports or via the Web.
