Long-Term Planning

Faster Planning, Longer Horizons

Speed, cost control, and open analytics give you the power to plan faster, run deeper studies, and share insights effortlessly.

Fast and Agile at Scale

  • Complete multi-year, multi-scenario studies up to 8× faster, finishing overnight instead of in days, so you can iterate quickly on complex IRP and risk analysis.
  • Run dozens of scenarios in parallel to capture uncertainty without slowing decision-making.

Cloud Economics

  • Avoid sunk costs on underutilized servers. Elastic compute ensures you only pay for resources when they are active.
  • Spin up thousands of CPUs for peak workloads without permanent infrastructure. Keep capital expenses predictable.
  • Dial up or down scenario complexity and compute power on demand. Align costs with actual study requirements.

Accessible Data

  • Publish results directly into an open data lake for seamless integration with BI, AI, and machine learning tools.
  • Enable clear, auditable outputs for regulatory filings, internal reviews, and board-level presentations.
  • Empower planning, risk, and origination teams to access and analyze results without technical barriers or proprietary formats.

Client Testimonial

"FMPP’s collaboration and partnership with PCI, including utilizing their very comprehensive GenTrader platform, has been instrumental in optimizing our entire resource portfolio to help us save more than $500 million — and counting."

Executive Director, FMPP
