Decision Support Systems

NOMAD also offers maximum flexibility for the development of all types of decision support and reporting systems. The highly versatile LIST command offers a variety of formatting and annotation options, and is a powerful tool for financial reporting. For new or occasional users, a syntax-free, windowed environment is optionally available for creating and maintaining databases and point-and-pick reporting. NOMAD offers a set of integrated decision-support features including a full range of mathematical and statistical functions for working with financial and time-oriented data. More than 140 fully integrated functions are predefined and operate on any item in the database, at any sort level. They automatically handle most data manipulation requirements, from simple functions such as sum and average, to sophisticated operations such as depreciation, ROI and net present value. Additionally, NOMAD provides consolidation and aggregation, modeling, what-if and goal-seek analysis.
