Global Window Effectively Communicates Risk by flagging key drivers

As a Global Window user you gain access to a set of scorecards which communicate technical, economic, commercial and strategic perspectives to describe an exploration or exploitation opportunity at multiple locations. The scorecards create a consistent basis for drawing in alternative viewpoints and link directly to a qualitative representation of strategic and commercial scores against technical volume and cost scores.

Global Window is an interactive desktop tool and users can set their own parameter weightings to be applied to the scorecards. Thus the product readily captures unique customer perspectives and these internal preferences are immediately incorporated in the Global Window model.

A 'Traffic Light' system provides a visual aid to highlight critical issues. You receive a strong visualization of the portfolio characteristics of all the locations within Global Window.

Global Window satisfies Unique Business Needs with Customization

Users can access the interactive process underlying Global Window to add new models, or modify any of the existing models. This allows users flexibility in application and the ability to adjust models for situation-specific data. Consulting services available with Global Window can assist users with customization or modeling decisions regarding parameters with impacts unique to the user's situation.

The Global Window process captures all the stages required to present a coherent view of investment drivers to a board level agenda. Global Window provides a platform to record judgments in a systematic way by building a thorough characterization of the business development opportunity. This reduces the cycle time required to reach board engagement getting to a decision more quickly.

Current Without Being Reactive

Global Window is updated in June and December each year as a subscription service. The June 2008 edition contains 355 distinct models comprising 54 Exploitation, 291 Exploration, and 10 Resource play locations.

New models are added at each update and subscribers automatically receive these new models for purchased regions as well as fully refreshed software. This update process keeps Global Window models accurate without unnecessarily accounting for temporary factors. This is particularly significant in the treatment of above-ground parameters.
