Frontline Systems, developer of the Solver in desktop Microsoft Excel®, has released Analytic Solver® V2020, a SaaS (software as a service) cloud and desktop platform that offers Excel-savvy business analysts point-and-click tools to create predictive and prescriptive analytics models themselves, without needing expert data scientists or programmers.

Available now in Microsoft AppSource, Analytic Solver (simulation and optimization) and Analytic Solver Data Mining (forecasting and machine learning) are the only next-generation “Office add-ins” for analytics models available that work in a browser with Excel for the Web, as well as in desktop Excel for Windows and Macintosh. A companion ‘Windows desktop-only’ version is also available for download from https://www.solver.com, for users in firms who haven’t yet upgraded to Office 365 subscription versions.

Creation and Deployment of Decision Models

Analytic Solver V2020 complements RASON V2020, Frontline’s JavaScript-embedded analytics modeling language and REST API, that makes model deployment and management easy for users of Microsoft Azure, Dynamics 365, Office 365, and the Power Platform (Power BI for business intelligence, Power Apps for custom applications, and Power Automate for orchestrating business workflows).
