If You're an Analyst Who Needs To...
1
Learn and Use Analytics
Want to learn and use data science (predictive analytics) and/or management science (prescriptive analytics)? We have powerful Excel-based tools, RASON modeling language, and learning resources for you.2
Work with a Developer
Want to work with a developer in your company who doesn't use Excel, to turn your Excel model into a deployed application -- without rewriting it in a programming language? With RASON, we can make this radically simple.Powerful, Comprehensive Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics, Made Easy in Excel

|
Excel Solver compatible | Use existing Solver models and VBA macros as-is, but solve faster -- just open your workbook and solve. |
Solve large-scale linear and nonlinear models | Solve models with thousands to millions of variables and constraints. Linear and quadratic, mixed-integer, smooth nonlinear, global optimization, non-smooth evolutionary, robust optimization and stochastic programming Solvers are all included. |
Ultra-Fast Monte Carlo Simulation | Easily define uncertain variables with sampling from 50 continuous, discrete and custom distributions, copulas and rank-order correlation, and distribution and correlation fitting. |
Decision trees for complex decisions | Build multi-stage decision trees with point-and-click ease, compute expected value and utility-based rollbacks, and incorporate decision trees in simulation and risk analysis. |
Time series forecasting | Apply the most popular exponential smoothing and Box-Jenkins (ARIMA) methods with seasonality to forecast time series, such as sales and inventory, from historical data. |
Prediction and classification methods | Use powerful multiple linear and logistic regression with variable selection, data mining methods like naive Bayes, CaRT, k-nearest neighbors and neural networks, and ensembles of multiple algorithms. |
Much, much more | This is just a brief overview -- see more extensive features -- and it's all included, even in our ultra-low-cost Analytic Solver Basic! |
You Can Do This - We're Here To Help
Documentation | From a simple Ribbon and Task Pane interface, to instant-access online Help, our 21-page QuickStart Guide, and over 1,800 pages of User and Reference Guides, we've got you covered. |
Textbooks | If our built-in documentation isn't enough, scores of textbooks for MBA analytics courses use Analytic Solver software throughout, with step-by-step instructions and example models. |
Wizards | Our Constraint Wizard helps you think through and then define the right constraints for your optimization model. Our Distribution Wizard does the same for probability distributions in your simulation model. |
Guided Mode | Guided Mode takes you step-by-step through automatic diagnosis of your optimization model, recommended Solver Engines, and interpreting result messages. Auto-Help Mode steps in only when a problem arises. |
Live Chat | Only Frontline Solvers offer quick access to Tech Support via Live Chat from inside Excel -- automatically passing error information to our support reps. |
