The Best Optimization Technology for the Best Solutions
At the heart of Analytic Solver Optimization is the combination of our advanced Solver Engines and our proprietary PSI Interpreter -- which algebraically analyzes your formulas, delivers model structure information crucial for advanced optimization algorithms, computes function gradient and curvature results with maximum speed and accuracy, and fully exploits multiple processor cores. And we make all this advanced technology easy -- even automatic -- for you to use.
With Analytic Solver Optimization you'll get more accurate results in less time, no matter what type of optimization problem you are trying to solve, and what Solver Engine you use to solve it. No other product comes close -- except our own Analytic Solver Comprehensive, an even more powerful product that 100% upward compatible from Analytic Solver Optimization!
Industry Leading Optimization Capabilities
Analytic Solver Optimization provides best-in-class tools to help you solve virtually any conventional optimization problem of any size.
Excel Solver compatible
Use existing Solver models and VBA macros as-is, but solve faster -- just open your workbook and solve.
Upgrade to full analytics
Upgrade Premium Solver Platform for Windows to handle stochastic and robust optimization, all the way to full-power predictive and prescriptive analytics.
Unlimited size models
Handle problems with up to 8,000 decision variables (40 times larger than the Excel Solver) using built-in Solver engines, and virtually unlimited size problems with optional plug-in Solver engines.
Easier model building
Our Constraint Wizard helps you think about and define constraints. Guided Mode helps you better understand your model, refine it for better answers in less time, and find and correct any errors. When you're up to speed, Auto-Help Mode gives you expert help only when you encounter an error.
Dimensional modeling
Build more structured, easily readable, compact Excel models, that represent business situations with many 'dimensions' such as products, customer types, geographic regions, or time periods.
Helpful example models
Over 60 example models show you step by step how to create a basic Solver model, build more complex models, and use more advanced features.
Better solutions
Find better solutions to portfolio optimization problems, global optimization problems, and models using arbitrary Excel functions with the built-in LP/Quadratic, SOCP Barrier, Interval Global and Evolutionary Solvers.
Faster solutions
Find solutions between 2X and 200X faster thanks to more advanced Solver engines, better optimization algorithms, and our super-fast, proven accurate PSI Interpreter.
Insightful reports & charts
Easily understand and share results, and get insight into the key drivers of your model results and potential decision trade-offs you can make.
Easy to use interface
Use either a dialog-based interface that matches the basic Excel Solver, or our Ribbon and Task Pane interface with quick access to advanced features and help.
Remove guesswork
Simply define your model in Excel -- Premium Solver Platform will analyze it algebraically and automatically choose the best available Solver engine for it.
Automatic transformation
Premium Solver Platform goes beyond model analysis -- if your model would solve slowly because it uses functions like IF, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP, MIN and MAX, it will seek to transform your model automatically into a form that can be solved much more quickly and accurately.
Upgrade Solver Engines
We developed the solver in Excel -- you get an extremely powerful, 100% compatible upgrade now, and the ability to "plug in" the world's best Solver engines for every type of optimization problem, whenever you need them. Your plug-in Solver engines will work with all our Platform products.
Compare our Analytics Tools for Excel
If you're familiar with our earlier products: In V2017, Premium Solver Platform becomes Analytic Solver Optimization, and Premium Solver Pro becomes Analytic Solver Upgrade. Risk Solver Platform matches Analytic Solver Simulation plus Analytic Solver Optimization.
