Feature highlights
Flexible development options
Flexible development options
Users can build models using Optimization Programming Language (OPL) . Users who want to directly model in APIs can also use C, C++, Java, C# or Python APIs.
End-to-end solution
End-to-end solution
Solve complex challenges with the integrated IBM SPSS Modeler analytics engine, the ability to run optimization algorithms on cloud, and an intuitive user interface for user collaboration and powerful visualizations.
Product highlight
IBM Decision Optimization for IBM Watson® Studio
IBM Decision Optimization is also available within IBM Cloud Pak® for Data where you can combine optimization and machine learning within a unified environment — IBM Watson Studio — that enables AI-infused optimization modeling capabilities.

Code assist

Code assist in the OPL IDE
In the IDE, the Optimization Programming Language (OPL) is strengthened by an Abstract Syntax Tree which allows to search, replace, and recognize a given element as text or as having a certain attribute.
Run-configuration

Run an OPL run-configuration locally
To solve a given model, users must create a run-configuration which consist of models and data sources. Right-click on the run-configuration and choose “Run this” from the menu.
