The marquee example of this in Analytic Solver Platform V12.5 is the ability to use data exploration and visualization, and data mining capabilities (from XLMiner) on Monte Carlo simulation data (created in Risk Solver Platform). We sometimes refer to Analytic Solver Platform as "Risk Solver Platform + XLMiner + synergies." The synergies come from combining predictive analytics technology and prescriptive analytics (optimization and simulation) technology. is sent automatically to our tech support reps, so you don't have to repeat this information, and yiou can get help more quickly.

#ANALYTIC SOLVER PLATFORM PROBLEM WINDOWS#
When this happens, information about the problem, you model type and size, the Excel and Windows version, etc. If you have Active Support "turned on," and you encounter a problem or error condition, an explanatory dialog appears, and you can simply click a button to be immediately connected to Frontline's Tech Suppport via Live Chat. But Analytic Solver Platform breaks new ground with Active Support. Of course, Analytic Solver Platform comes with a QuickStart Guide, 280-page User Guide and 300-page Reference Guide, context-sensitive Help text, and 30 example datasets and 90 example models. With simple Wizard-like dialogs for data mining, a Constraint Wizard for optimization modeling, a Distribution Wizard for simulation modeling, and Guided Mode and new Auto-Help Mode for automatic model analysis and tranformation, automatic Solver engine selection, and the ability to "catch" and explain common user errors, Analytic Solver Platform offers a refreshing contrast to the steep learning curves of other software.

Where Analytic Solver Platform really "excels" compared to more expensive products, though, is in ease of use, and support for the business user who is just getting started with these "rocket science" methods.
#ANALYTIC SOLVER PLATFORM PROBLEM SOFTWARE#
Analytic Solver Platform has "power" features - such as stochastic decomposition for uncertain models, parallel multi-core automatic differentiation for nonlinear models, and GPU supoort in our Evolutionary - that are hard (or impossible) to find in "enterprise analytics" software costing five to ten times as much. Our tagline for Analytic Solver Platform is " no-compromise analytics in Excel:" You should be able to leverage your spreadsheet model-building experience, but you should not have to compromise at all on functionality or performance. You can read much more about its features here. We hope you're in one of these groups! ASP is a complete solution for both "predictive analytics" - tools to model and make predictions from data - and "prescriptive analytics" - tools to model and make decisions based on data. Since it includes all the functionality and performance of all our other Frontline Solvers for Excel, it starts out at V12.5.Īnalytic Solver Platform is a response to the growing interest we've seen in "business analytics," from traditional users of optimization, simulation, and data mining, and from new business users who would like to take advantage of these technologies. We're very pleased to introduce our new "flagship" top-of-the-line product, Analytic Solver Platform.
