About Us
Company Overview
Agena is a provider of state-of-the-art risk analysis and decision support software. It was formed in 1998 on the back of a body of widely respected academic research carried out by Norman Fenton (CEO) and Martin Neil (CTO). This research focused on the use of large-scale Bayesian networks in a range of different domains.
Until 2003, Agena's expertise was transferred to customers through consultancy exercises and by developing bespoke decision support tools. In 2003, Agena completed the process of encoding its experience and knowledge in a single software tool called AgenaRisk.
Since 2003, AgenaRisk has been evolving in usability, power and flexibility. Agena continues to develop the product to meet customer needs while supporting AgenaRisk users via training and consultancy.
