Poster Presentation
GoldSim has proven itself to be a highly effective tool for integrated teams of modelers to display, model, and simulate complex, multi-disciplinary systems. Often, GoldSim modeling requires development and input from remote users looking to access the same GoldSim files and/or linked Excel files that import data such as historical records, lookup tables, and input parameters. To support this, many companies have shifted from storing files on local or networked drives to a cloud-based system that syncs the local and cloud storage seamlessly.
When working with specifically tailored software, such as Microsoft Office components, this is a great tool for multi-user projects; however, for other software, sharing violations prevent multiple users from accessing the same GoldSim model and/or linked Excel file. As a result, GoldSim will create “zombie” Excel instances – halting workflows and resulting in lost work. SRK Consulting would like to present our takeaways from comparing two potential solutions from Microsoft: 1) integration of OneLake, a data file focused sharing system and 2) a “Check In/Check Out” workflow within SharePoint, a collaboration focused tool.
