Optimacros is a CPM (Corporate Performance Management) class system invented and created in Russia. The system is focused on working within the framework of the modern concept of self-service; that is to say, the skills and knowledge required to self-configure the system is equal to that of an confident Excel user: Optimacros formulas are as close as possible to the Excel syntax, and the configuration logic is simplified.
The main characteristics of Optimacros are:
- flexibility and simplicity: convenient and simple management of directories, periods and versions for quick customization of reports, and analysis;
- possibility of creating a single planning system – integration of budget models of different divisions, directions and functions of a group of companies into a single whole;
- easy management and configuration of models without programming and complex scripts;
- a single repository of business logic, calculations, setting and other parameters of the model, available at the click of a mouse. This flexibility and simplicity is based on a unique proprietary technology;
- visualization of data and reports: intuitive forms, tools for setting indicators and formulas similar to MS Excel, which makes it easier to start self-tuning the system;
- high performance and enterprise fault tolerance. Proprietary technology ensures high speed of data processing for any amount of data, number of users and dimensions of models, which are limited by the amount of memory installed on the servers;
- any way of placing the system:
- cost effective with a secure SaaS model: the system can be hosted in the cloud, without the need to buy or update hardware or software;
- it is possible to place the system in any of the data centers chosen by the customer, in any jurisdiction;
- placement on the customer’s own server facilities is possible, which guarantees complete independence;
- convenient integration with external system. Anaplan allows you to import-export data in any tabular format (xlsx, csv, txt, DBMS tables, API, etc.). Optimacros system is easily integrated with systems with 1C, SAP and others.
- in terms of the syntax or formulas and logic, the system is largely similar to the Anaplan system, but does not have Anaplan’s drawbacks (only cloud hosting, impossibility of not storing zeros, price…). This allows the model to migrate quickly and cost-effectively, providing the following benefits:
- significant savings with the same or greater productivity;
- no need for an expensive proprietary cloud located outside the Russian Federation;
- the possibility of increasing the model by using an algorithm for not storing zeros;
- placing the system on the customer’s own server facilities;
- built-in discrete optimization capabilities allow buildings on the basis of the system optimization models of high complexity for production, logistics and other applications;
- internal macros to automate routine tasks.
