===D-Sight Portfolio===
D-Sight Portfolio is a [[Project Portfolio Management]] (PPM)  platform focused around the early stage decision-making. It allows users to:
* Collect and centralize data for project requests and build the business case
* Prioritize project proposals and evaluate the ranking
* [[Resource allocation|Allocate resources]] to those proposals that add the most value to the organization, thereby optimizing the project portfolio
===D-Sight Sourcing===
D-Sight Sourcing is a [[strategic sourcing]] platform to standardize and justify the supplier selection process.
===D-Sight CDM===
D-Sight Collaborative Decision-Making (CDM) is a [[decision-making software]] that offers a structured approach to data-based group decisions.
==Methodology==
The methodology used in these platforms is a [[multi-criteria decision analysis]] (MCDA). Rather than looking at one single determinant to make decisions, MCDA methods consider multiple factors. They integrate both quantitative and qualitative information, and allow to make informed rather than purely intuitive decisions.
D-Sight's software products implement more specifically the [[Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation]] (PROMETHEE)<ref>{{citation |author1=Brans, J.P. |author2=Vincke, P. |title=A preference ranking organisation method: The PROMETHEE method for MCDM |journal=Management Science |volume=31 |issue=6 |pages=647–656 |year=1985 |doi=10.1287/mnsc.31.6.647|doi-access= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Behzadian | first1 = M. | last2 = Kazemzadeh | first2 = R.
