STEM newsletter April 2008
Welcome to the 25th edition of the quarterly newsletter from the Analysys Mason Decision Systems Group.
The aim of this bulletin is to keep you informed of the latest developments in STEM: interesting applications, the latest features and a series of how-does-it-work articles, together with news of forthcoming events.
A comprehensive new training course is available, written around a demonstration model, The business case for WiMAX vs DSL in rural areas. The 190-page exercise book presents 55 exercises in 15 groups covering all key features of the STEM software and current modelling practices.
The Thirteenth STEM User Group Meeting will be held on 17–18 September in Cambridge, UK, and will focus around an extended, competitive modelling exercise, such as a dimensioning and planning model for enterprise ICT.
The headline features of STEM version 7.2 are mostly complete. The principal objective is to make the software easier to learn and to hand over to colleagues.
