 On
behalf of ProModel Corporation, I would like to wish all of you a joyous
holiday season and a healthy and happy 2007. Additionally, I would like
to thank our customers for your support and business in 2006. We sincerely
hope that we have contributed in at least a small way to your success
this year, as you are obviously responsible for ours. Our goal is to help
you make Better Decisions – Faster.
I’d like to take this opportunity to share with you some of ProModel’s
highlights from this year and some of what you can expect from ProModel
in 2007. As always, we encourage your feedback at any time. We have made
tremendous improvements in our products and services based on the invaluable
customer input we have received over the years

Conferences:
As many of you know, we hosted our Solutions
Conference again this year in Park City, UT. We tried the April/May
timeframe and it worked out beautifully. We had over 150 people in attendance,
and the customer feedback indicated it may have been our best conference
ever.
Continuing on the conference theme, we also hosted our first industry
specific conference, Capacity
and Productivity Improvement for the Pharmaceutical Industry - Using
Simulation Technology to Improve Decision Making Capability. The conference
was held in New York City in October and focused specifically on predictive
analysis solutions utilized in the Pharmaceutical industry. We had a mix
of customers, future customers, industry experts, and ProModel experts,
so we designed in extra networking and leisure time. Attendee feedback
indicated this was a very beneficial forum, so look for other events like
this from us in 2007. We are considering themes like different industry
segments, business initiatives (Lean/Six Sigma) and/or geographic regions.
If you have input or suggestions let us know.
Consulting and Customer Support:
In the consulting area, we continue to improve our ability to rapidly
develop and deliver appropriately customized solutions for companies large
and small. Our experienced consultants are all now involved in Six Sigma
training and certification. In addition, we are continuing to enhance
our library of flexible, re-usable model-building technologies as we deliver
cross-industry and multi-initiative (Six Sigma, Lean, Strategic and Portfolio
Planning, etc) projects. This means when we deliver a solution, you get
better results, faster. Lastly, some of our customers, with whom we work
very closely, are now experiencing the benefits of an enterprise decision
modeling approach, by integrating solutions across Strategic, Tactical,
and Operational decision levels. We believe this is the future direction
companies will be going in order to compete in increasingly competitive
markets.
We continue to bring you what we believe are innovative new Customer
Support ideas. We have had more than 250 people attend our free training
webinars launched this year, and have also added flexibility to our annual
support subscription options.
 Technology:
On the technology front, we released the following major version upgrades
- ProModel, MedModel, ServiceModel version 7.0, and Process Simulator
5.0. In addition, minor upgrades were released for Portfolio Simulator
and 3D Animator. In 2007, we are planning exciting changes to many of
our products, particularly aimed at making them easier to use, and facilitating
faster decision making. Additionally, keep an eye out for the development
of new targeted applications. Again, your feedback is critical here from
both a technical and business standpoint, so please provide us with your
input.
The people at ProModel look forward to working passionately on your behalf
in 2007 to bring our customers the most valuable simulation-driven performance
improvement solutions in the world.
Best wishes for the holidays,
Keith Vadas
President and CEO
ProModel Corporation
