Simformer provides online business simulations for training, education, and personnel assessment. Their simulations allow users to practice managing virtual companies and experience running key business processes. This helps bridge the gap between theory and real-world practice. Simformer has been used by universities and companies to supplement traditional education and training. One example described a quality management course at Vilnius University that incorporated a Simformer simulation, giving students practical experience in decision-making and business management. Feedback showed the simulation helped students better understand academic concepts and apply them experientially.

9. Student`s feedback
Business Information Management is a study program of great value.
Quality management is not only good shoes.
Students can enjoy learning a lot.
Experience & „know how“ > $.
It is not that easy to be a businessman.
Learned that business is not a ”mystical creature“.
In this game I have gained a beter understanding of
academic side of the study as well as analytical and
practical side of business.
How can one actually utilize university
knowledge in business!
