- 5. 5 A New Approach to Supply Chain Management Orchestrate Signals Capture, Analytics, Decision-making, and Action Deployment Pneuron provides a rapid, low cost, flexible, and agile orchestration option across a diverse Supply Chain Incoming Signals from diverse sources are rapidly captured, pre-processed, and routed to back-end analytics and decision-making processes Optimized Tasking is post- processed and distributed for action to diverse endpoints across the Supply Chain Analytics & Optimized Decision- making are orchestrated across data stores, analytics platforms, applications, and human analysts SCM Process Orchestration “Signals” Integration
- 6. 6 Dramatic Cost ReductionBusiness OwnershipRapid Response to Change Key Solution Features Rapid connectivity to / extraction from diverse source systems Data quality assessment and remediation close to the source minimizes downstream re-work Highly configurable processing strategies Support for manual verification / override of results (with auditability) Customizable visualization of processing results and execution performance / analysis Results delivery rapidly configured to local requirements – report, database, or application Short Time to Value
- 7. 7 About Pneuron Move to Continuous Improvement at Scale Award-winning technology Consistently recognized by leading industry analysts Business Orchestration Software pioneer, authority and technology leader Companies to Watch in 2016
- 8. Data Interaction Pneurons Rapidly configurable access to targeted data in various sources (database, file, data services, etc.) Analytics Pneurons Analytics, matching, predictive models, and rules with option to use embedded, imported or called functionality. Service / Wrapper Pneurons Call or encapsulate existing applications or functions as interoperable network components. Output Pneurons: Deliver results via print, applications. dashboards, persist to DB, post to application, mobile, message queue or any other endpoint Solution Methodology: 1. Assess availability of existing value points 2. Determine need to persist or deliver results 3. Select , configure, and connect appropriate pneurons aligned to the solution design 4. Iteratively test design on an incremental basis 5. Promote solution to test and production environments Pneuron Distributed Processing “Networks”
- 9. • Uniformly interoperable applications and functions. • Pre-encoded IP, but “open” for upload and integration of any analytics, function, models or application. • Deployed across the enterprise as a network of interoperable services. • Access data and IP, add functions and connect components to legacy or third party apps to build, deploy and manage anything. • Over 50 Pneurons in the following categories: Data Interaction Analytics Cloud / Messaging Output Query Pneuron The Pneurons Matching Pneuron Analytics Pneuron Predictive Model Pneuron Rules PneuronApplication Integration Pneuron
- 10. The Cortex • Server-based main Java program - Java, JDK, messaging, and web services • Runs in a JVM and is deployed on the target host server or VM • Hosted within available capacity of existing servers, virtual machines, or cloud • Receives and processes self-describing XML messages within durable message queues for inter-node communications • Dynamically manages both vertical and horizontal scalability by accessing available excess capacity • Implements HA and performance mgmt. functions via dynamic clustering • Offers a full suite of Management APIs for external control

Editor's Notes
- #4: Reputational and Operational Risk from incomplete, low quality, poorly leveraged reporting Rapidly Growing Cost of Compliance due to manual intensity, heavy re-work and reconciliation, and an onslaught of new requirements Increasing Systems and Data complexity driven by single-purpose, siloed solutions each requiring new data models, platforms, and integration projects
- #5: Effects Every and any regulatory report requires a repeat of these projects. The results are expensive, prone to failure, inflexible and do not provide the business agility demanded by evolving regulations. Manual processes provide short term answers but huge operational costs. Technology deployments require multi-year, invasive deployments. Significant effort expended manually gathering data or technology integration Failures in effectively understand and leverage regulatory or capital exposure Excessive spending on regulatory reporting Low ROI for all projects.
- #6: Solution / Approach Highlights Single deployment for any and all regulatory requirements supported with only one integration point at the data source. Real time “event” driven reporting that requires no intermediary technologies. No heavy expensive integration and no cumbersome data warehouses. Deployed in weeks, not months or years. Changes, new reports, new data sources added in hours not weeks. Output in any form – your BI tools, dashboards or mobile technologies. Non-invasive to any current technologies or applications already deployed. Business-Driven Entire solution lifecycle is Business SME / IT Analyst led Rapid, low-cost change invites continuous improvements Accessible Design and Visualization environments leverage available functional expertise Customized results delivery meets diverse and changing operational and executive requirements Value Enterprise Regulatory Transparency for less that 50% of the time and cost. One deployment, every regulation. Highly portable with one deployment covering any current or future regulation with operational costs at 20% of current. True real time reporting.
- #7: Key Solution Features Rapid connectivity to / extraction from diverse source systems Data quality assessment and remediation close to the source minimizes downstream re-work Highly configurable processing strategies Support for manual verification / override of results (w/auditability) Customizable visualization of processing results and execution performance / analysis Results delivery rapidly configured to local requirements – report, database, or application Key Client Value Components Short Time to Value – projects measured in Weeks and Months not Months and Quarters (< 50% typical) Rapid response to Change – Adaptation to Regulation, Data, Applications, Infrastructure, in Days to Weeks Business Leadership over the entire Solution Lifecycle Drastically reduced investment in new tools and integration projects…(< 50% typical)
- #9: Pneuron solutions are deployed as Distributed Processing “Networks”. Business assets, data and applications are shown as interoperable “services”, connected to create solutions and products
