Dynamic Insight matches your needs in establishing customer requirements or criteria, analyzing the trade space, applying the Systems Engineering process and in supporting your decisions or recommendations.

To find the best solutions for your customers in a rapidly changing, dynamic environment, you need in-depth insight into all important issues, you need to present the information at the right level, and you need to do it quickly and accurately. Dynamic Insight is a software tool that gives you the power.

  • Dynamic Insight is a complete approach to executing a project & analyzing alternatives.
  • It supports structured thinking driven by metrics.
  • Capture, quantify, and explore your customers' needs and criteria.
  • Effectively communicate with your customers, react to their changes as they occur.
  • Get your whole team working in the same direction.
  • Explore approaches to satisfy your customers effectively (Quality Function Deployment).
  • Link existing spreadsheets, models, and simulators into the decision-making process.
  • Compare your approaches to that of your competitors — using metrics.
  • Determine the best approach to satisfying one customer, or all of your customers.
  • Quantify the risks (six sigma).
  • Explore the design space for an optimal solution.
  • Graphically and quantitatively see how performance affects costs and schedule OR how costs and schedule affect performance.
  • Communicate the metrics effectively to management and to the customers.
  • Run your project, your department, or your whole company using the metrics-driven, balanced scorecard approach.
  • Do all of these things collaboratively, anytime, anywhere, and securely over the Internet.

Dynamic Insight® facilitates use of established techniques integrated into a comprehensive methodology to assess alternatives and make a good decision to achieve better performance, higher return on investment, lower risk, and greater customer value.

Dynamic Insight is available in two configurations, depending on the way you need to work: Standard and Professional. It is also available using two different licensing models to fit your organization’s budget and software licensing preferences.

Dynamic Insight – Standard
Employ Dynamic Insight – Standard’s intuitive graphical user interface to easily establish requirements that customers can understand, define measures for your decisions, explore alternative approaches in the trade space based on their performance, producibility, schedule, cost, risk, and maintainability; create a House of Quality and develop a Value Scorecard. If the requirements change during your analysis, you can quickly and easily see the impact in trade space. You can even use your analysis to support more cost-effective requirements to your customers. Once you’re ready to present your results, use Dynamic Insight – Standard’s new features to directly generate Microsoft Excel spreadsheets or publish to the Web.

If you’re technically oriented, use Dynamic Insight – Standard to develop strong, measurement-driven recommendations to management and customers. Dynamic Insight – Standard has the tools you need to communicate with them concisely and appropriately. If you’re in management, or if you’re trying to communicate your needs to technical people, use Dynamic Insight – Standard to show them how you want the information presented, and what it will take for you to make a decision.

Dynamic Insight – Standard is the most effective tool for gaining consensus on decisions among technically oriented people, management, and customers.

Dynamic Insight – Professional
Dynamic Insight – Professional configuration offers you many advanced analysis and design space exploration capabilities, all seamlessly integrated with Microsoft Excel, The MathWorks' MATLAB, and other modeling and simulation software. Integrate existing models to mathematically explore the design or trade space. Or, if you have limited data, let Dynamic Insight – Professional guide you through a Design of Experiments to statistically define and explore the design space—visually with Dynamic Insight – Professional’s extensive graphing capabilities, or with DI's powerful multi-objective, multidimensional optimization methods. With Dynamic Insight – Professional, you have complete flexibility for integrating existing models or defining new models to support decisions or recommendations.
