Tellus develops and supports a suite of software tools for strategic planning. They are used throughout the world by governmental agencies, non-governmental organizations, and academic institutions.

Our major tools are:

The tools share a number of features:

  • They are user-friendly accounting frameworks that are flexible and transparent. On this platform, the software can be used for more sophisticated simulations depending on data availability and project needs.
  • Ease of data management, clear logical structures, and powerful reporting features make these tools ideal for capacity building and training. They are used in well over 100 countries.
  • They are designed for scenario analysis. Scenarios are stories about how the future might evolve under a range of different assumptions, social or economic conditions, policies, technological development, or behavioral choices. The tools are unique in their capacity for managing families of scenarios, making it easy to create, evaluate and compare alternative futures .
  • They are designed to encourage an integrated view of planning problems. Users can examine supply-oriented plans, greater efficiency, alternative patterns of consumption, and environmental implications in a common framework.
