Lanner and Business Science Corporation Sign Agreement to Extend Operations in Australia

New partnership will further the use of predictive digital twins across Australia and bring value to new markets.

Today Lanner, a company of Royal HaskoningDHV, has announced South African-based analytics and data science company Business Science Corporation (BSC) will expand their reach to Australia to support the growth of predictive digital twins with Lanner’s WITNESS technology.

BSC already have a long-standing relationship with Lanner, becoming a Reseller for the South African markets in 2018, when they added Lanner’s WITNESS simulation capabilities to their range of technological offerings to their clients. A powerful tool which provides optimisation capabilities together with scenario management functionality, WITNESS Horizon, allows users to build rich models and predictive digital twins to visualise and test data before any costly changes are made within the real world.

Tony Savides, BSC Australia Director, explains that BSC is a data science and analytics enablement company, that solves a variety of industry-specific problems, with the goal of unifying data, science and technology to enhance decision making.

“Predictive simulation is one of BSC’s most important and trusted toolsets in driving productivity improvement. It has, and continues to, reveal and validate massive cost savings and productivity improvements for many of our clients across multiple industries. WITNESS has allowed for the rapid deployment of predictive simulation models, allowing for immediate realisation of return on insights for our clients. We are excited to extend the WITNESS platform to the Australian market” explains Savides.

David Jones, CEO of Lanner commented:

“Australia offers a wide range of industries where predictive digital twins can significantly impact future growth and innovation. Lanner has been keen to grow our presence within this market, to further support customers with manufacturing operations in the region, and to develop new business in sectors where predictive simulation is already well proven. Having worked with BSC for nearly 2 years and seeing how well WITNESS fits within their suite of consultancy skills and technology, it was an obvious choice to have BSC represent us in the Australian market.”
