We are a US-UK company of independent experts in optimization with many years in the field. 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, along with experience of working with end users with real-world problems, gives us an unparalleled edge when it comes to 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 and are technology and licensing partners with IBM to market ILOG® CPLEX Optimization Studio. We have integrated the ODH algorithm into CPLEX to create ODH|CPLEX 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.
