Vanguard’s Benefits Primer

Vanguard Thought Leadership
Vanguard Technologies is dedicated to using highly innovative emerging technologies which can be leveraged by organisations to significantly increase their revenues and maximize profits by substantially reducing operational costs and business risk.

Vanguard has a sweeping brief to constantly examine technologies at least 5 years away from general use and introduce these technologies at the appropriate time to its clients who want, by adopting early technologies, to gain a competitive advantage in their market place.

How Vanguard partner’s with its clients
Vanguard enters strategic partnerships with our clients so that we can understand their corporate objectives, together with the strategies that they are using to achieve these corporate objectives. Having gained this understanding, Vanguard looks at those technologies and solutions that have a very low downside risk but with a large up-side potential for profit improvement or reduction in business risk or costs.  These solutions are then introduced into the client’s IT infrastructure in a controlled and phased manner.

One of the key criteria used by Vanguard in selecting the technologies that it will use for the next five years is that solutions based on these technologies can be implemented with minimal software development and implementation costs and risks.   To this end Vanguard uses technologies that can be integrated with its model driven approach to automation technologies. 

What benefits is Vanguard Technologies offering today?
Vanguard is offering the following profit improvement programmes:

• Using Complex Event Processing (CEP) to detect, analyse and correlate events in real-time that can lead to increased revenues and risk reductions. There are a large number of possible applications of this technology.  These include, up-selling, cross-selling, fraud detection, supply chain management, compliance and regulatory, SOA orchestration, business operational risk, marketing, sales and CRM orchestration, financial trading, to name but a few.  Those companies that use CEP effectively now, will gain a competitive advantage in their market place.

• Using Model Driven Integration (MDI) to quickly integrate all the IT systems of an on-going acquisition or merger in months rather than years, thereby getting the ROI benefits of the acquisition programme at significant lower integration costs compared with traditional IT integration methods. MDI uses software models to design the target integration requirements and then directly executes the software model without having to spend large amount of money on software development and testing. Vanguard MDI solutions will save you £millions on a typical system integration project.

• Using Model Driven Testing (MDT) to significantly cut the costs of testing application software. A model of the behaviour of the application is used to automatically generate all the required test cases and automatically test the application to detect software defects.  Software defects maintenance forms a very large part of IT budgets and can adversely affect time to market of software products resulting in lost customers and reduced revenues.  MDT significantly reduces the software testing load on the organisation as test scripts to not have to be written and maintained.
