Showing competitive business people how to win by thinking before they act is the main thrust behind the highly successful Enterprise Support Systems, Inc.

ESS offers total planning solutions consisting of PC based software tools, books, and a host of planning services delivered through their Executive Planning Advisory Services group.
Enterprise Support Systems can bring its planning expertise to any size company in a multitude of industries including technology, business services and manufacturing. The company has determined three planning areas that have the greatest impact to the long term success and viability of businesses. These areas are strategic market assessment, market development and organizational effectiveness. The company's products and services assist businesses in developing, refining and leveraging their planning function to achieve maximum operating performance in these three areas. "The end result that we strive to accomplish is to increase the asset value of the organization," explained company Senior Vice President Dawn L. Britt. According to Britt, "the company's goal is to produce good plans quickly, empower company personnel to plan successfully, and obtain tangible useful results."
The technology based firm was spun off from Search Technology, Inc., a worldwide contract services company doing business primarily to the federal government. Enterprise Support Systems (ESS) became an independent company in January, 1996. However, the firm incubated within Search Technology since 1991.
Solving planning problems is no new concept to company founder William B. Rouse, President and CEO of Enterprise Support Systems. Rouse is noted as one of the nation's foremost authors and advisors on planning. He has advised hundreds of firms in a variety of industries and authored many highly-regarded books. According to Rouse, "Enterprise Support Systems was founded to satisfy the recurring needs projected by businesses of all sizes. Basically, companies want to know how to do three things: how to plan, how to plan quickly, and how to create valuable results."
The company's success has been built around its ability to create tangible value from the use, empowerment and implementation of its planning tools. ESS' software tools are unique in their format and architecture. All of the company's popular tools utilize a proprietary design and hierarchy called QuikSense. The QuikSense methodology consist of sophisticated algorithms, models, indicators, assessment and analytical tool sets that utilize expert knowledge. According to Britt, "Our QuikSense technology is the one ingredient that truly separates Enterprise Support Systems from everyone else in the market. Companies that use our software tools comment on the level of sophistication housed in the core of these products."
