IBM ILOG CPLEX (CPLEX) is an analytical toolkit for modeling and solving linear optimization problems. The goal of such (linear) optimization is to find the optimum of a system that depends on various influences. In mathematical terms, it is the calculation of a minimum or maximum of an objective function. Such an objective function can be, for example, a formula for sales, costs, yield or inventory.

CPLEX provides decision support and enables the rapid development and implementation of optimization models based on mathematical models. The tool combines an integrated development environment (IDE) with powerful Solvers for optimization and the advantages of the modeling language OPL (Optimization Programming Language) - plus connections to the programming languages C, C++, Java and Python. In addition, a Matlab toolbox and interfaces to SPSS are available.

You enter your mathematical optimization potential as an objective function and the conditions under which the objective is to be achieved - CPLEX provides you with solutions for the optimization.

By using ILOG CPLEX you can:

• Optimize your business decisions
• Quickly develop, implement, and commission optimization models thanks to flexible interfaces and predefined implementation scenarios
• Significantly improve your business results with real-world applications
• Optimize your KPIs (production, profits, resource utilization, routes, etc.) - respond optimally to acute events and problems, evolve optimization models to adapt to changing business processes

IBM Watson, as an open multicloud platform in Artificial Intelligence, offers diverse tools and pre-built solutions to support you with accurate predictions, automate decisions and processes, and shorten/accelerate value creation times.

With tools like Watson Studio or Watson Machine Learning we prepare your data, build models and implement them in your production environment. Financial forecasting as well as decision optimization through Machine Learning and Deep Learning can be implemented quickly in an open environment – and above all, they are comprehensible.

In addition to the possibility of developing an individual solution from scratch using the tools mentioned above, there is also the option of tailoring one or more predefined IBM application(s) to your company:

• Watson Discovery (enterprise search engine, with discovery and analysis of hidden trends and correlations in enterprise data)
• Watson Speech to Text (real-time audio transcription for meaningful analytics)
• Watson Natural Language Understanding (metadata extraction such as concepts, keywords, categories, sentiments, or relationships from text)
• Watson Assistant (conversational interface creation to applications or devices)

In addition, the application can be extended with speech, vision or empathy functionalities via IBM Watson APIs, so that visual impressions, opinions and personal preferences are included in the analysis. We would be happy to advise you according to your individual requirements.

With IBM SPSS Modeler, users can create and use self-learning predictive models without deep programming and statistical knowledge. The processing of large data volumes and the integration into existing BI architectures can also be solved in a standardized manner. In this way, SPSS makes it possible to gain new insights from company data without much effort and to adapt measures accordingly.

The self-learning predictive platform delivers valid answers to business questions using intelligent algorithms and innovative data mining techniques in a user-friendly, visual environment - including text mining, entity analysis, decision management and optimization to provide predictive information in real time. In this way, upcoming developments are identified at an early stage, business opportunities and risks are reliably determined, and planning is improved in the long term.

A unique selling point of the Modeler is its visual analysis interface, which enables intuitive operation with easy access to data, its preparation and modeling. The individual work steps run automatically and allow even users without specialist knowledge to quickly and easily create accurate forecast models. On the other hand, the open architecture offers data specialists a wide range of options for expansion and customization.

The Modeler's licensing model supports the agile and step-by-step development of an integrated predictive analytics environment in your company. We would be happy to advise you here according to your individual analytics requirements.
