Optimization Direct is a US-UK company of independent experts in optimization.
We have many years in the field and frequently speak at optimization industry events. Our background is in software development, consulting, and academia. We’ve run optimization software businesses – creating the first integrated development environment for optimization.
Our knowledge and experience working with end users with real-world problems gives us an unparalleled edge in developing optimization solutions.
We recently developed ODHeuristics; a new algorithm designed to run on modern multiprocessor machines. Many cores (24+ ideal) are exploited by the ODHeuristics engine to solve huge models with massive datasets – ideal for the big data area.
We work with many solvers and business partners, as well as technology and licensing partners with FICO, to market FICO XPRESS. We have integrated the ODH algorithm into FICO Xpress to create ODH|XPress which has proved to have amazing results. On large scale MIPs it provides good solutions and optimality measures that are often beyond the reach of traditional optimization methods.
Our clients are in banking and finance, marketing optimization, data mining, supply chain, retail optimization, procurement, and decision analytics.
If you have a complex, optimization problem it’s highly likely that our experts can help you.
