Better Decisions for Better Performance
Decision Lens Web is a Rich Internet Application that has all of the dynamic interactivity, color and utility of the desktop version but is accessed through the Internet, enabling participants and facilitators to collaborate and contribute from locations anywhere in the world.
Decision Lens Web is a full-featured, collaborative application that provides a rich and interactive decision framework for better decision making. The new Sync mode enables facilitators to synchronize all participants in real-time to drive the decision process as a group, and then use Async mode to hand back control to individual users for At-Your-Convenience™ voting, further input and analysis.
The application integrates a set of powerful decision-making tools into a straightforward yet effective step-by-step process that enables you to do the following:
- Identify and organize the decision variables, including key objectives and related factors
- Evaluate numerous and often competing alternatives among other participants or stakeholders
- Test the outcome by performing "what if" sensitivity analysis
- Apply the results in order to create and optimize budgets
- Communicate the findings across your organization easily with the integrated reporting capabilities
The easy-to-use interface allows you to quickly apply Decision Lens to your most critical business decisions, making it possible for you and your organization to realize benefits from day one.
Benefits
- Decision Lens Web generates better decision making through structure, group enablement and consensus, consistency and repeatability.
- The application combines a simple, easy-to-use interface with an advanced, proven analytics engine to ensure that your organization is making better decisions faster.
- Decision Lens Web is ideal for individual or group settings, providing integrated analysis and reporting capabilities.
Special features of Decision Lens Web
- Decision Lens Web utilizes Flash™ technology to deliver a secure, highly interactive and unparalleled experience.
- The application is powerful, effective and convenient, and requires no software downloads or installations.
- The integrated Web Suite Lobby is a central portal where your organization can manage and save decisions. While allowing you to share key information with others, the Web Suite Lobby also gives you control over who has access.
- This secure web-based application utilizes Decision Lens' patent-pending management and control access framework, which enables you to define different roles and permissions for users–from voters, to reviewers, to backup facilitators and more.
- Remote users can participate in same-time online conferences or use At-Your-Convenience Voting™ in Async mode, where they can cast their votes at different times but seamlessly integrated with the group's model.
- The integrated chat capability allows you to collaborate with other remote participants, moving the process forward, encouraging participation, and eliciting key information–all while dramatically reducing the amount of time and travel needed.
- Models are completely interchangeable between the desktop and Web applications. For those who have used the powerful features of the Decision Lens Suite desktop, you will find it simple to upload your Decision Lens models to the Web version and vice-versa.
- Decision Lens Web is also keypad enabled. Users can participate in the meeting room, over the Web, or using both at the same time. There is no limit to the number of keypad collaborative meetings that can be held in the same session. For example, you may have in-room participants in two locations using keypads, and the remainder on the Web, all working simultaneously on the same decision.
