STEM business-modelling software for networks

STEM is a robust and efficient platform for creating business and investment plans which embrace alternative market, technical and economic futures.

STEM automatically generates a demand and cost allocation framework, geographical variants and scenarios, and calculates consistent service revenues, equipment installation, utilisation and replacement, capex and opex. Hundreds of results are delivered through an integrated charting interface, which can drill down into individual elements, revenues and costs. STEM includes parameters for working capital, tax and interest, borrowing and equity, and provides full profit and loss, cashflow and balance sheet outputs.

The established STEM modelling process lets you focus on the network configuration and business dynamics while STEM manages the integrity of the underlying calculations. STEM is designed specifically for the agile development of business models that must be regularly adapted to match the evolving shape of an operator's revenues and costs.

STEM applications

STEM is purpose-built as a flexible and robust platform for the economic modelling of networks.

Features

STEM readily handles the most extensive and intricate models with the same process which can kick-start models in minutes.

Client successes

STEM is used by operators, vendors and enterprise users to model service-level requirements for networks and to calculate the financial implications of different technology or roll-out scenarios going forward.

Technologies

A number of case studies illustrate how STEM can be applied to a wide range of fixed and mobile technologies.

Implementation

Various packages are available according to the depth of analysis required and the apropriate distribution model for the intended audience. Read about our training and support services.
