Results
Effective structuring of model inputs enhances the quality of input data and thereby of model results
(avoiding the “garbage-in garbage-out” problem). The structure of model inputs also influences
the software’s integration potential with your customers’ business processes and applications.
Selecting appropriate output metrics and designing effective reports drives demand for model results and increases your software's visibility within the customer's organization.
Improving overall model usability results in reduced time to complete tasks and contributes to lasting software uptake, and most importantly, to a reduction in errors.
