What's new in IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio
Manage constraints without explicit modelling
Allow the user to incorporate external functions evaluated outside the engine search — for example, from simulation software — into constraints and goals.
Get better solutions faster
Double speed solution time compared to the default functionality of finding balance between optimal and feasible solutions.
Make easy connections to data sources
Connect to ODBC, MySQL and CSV without coding using language constructs in IDE through JDBC driver. Use a custom-built connector for other data sources through the dynamic libraries included.
Download and go
Get up and running in less than 15 minutes with the developer option, now available in monthly and annual subscriptions.

Why IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio is the best choice for decision-making
Offers established optimization technology with more than 25 years experience
Choose a provider with decades of expertise in optimization technology. The prestigious Edelman Prize is given each year to the best practitioner project in operations research. IBM CPLEX Optimizer is used four times more than any other optimization technology to build innovative solutions for solving difficult challenges by Edelman finalists.
Provides a comprehensive end-to-end solution for solving complex problems
Read how IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio provides a comprehensive end-to-end solution for even the most complex challenges. This includes integrating with IBM SPSS® Modeler, running optimization algorithms on cloud and allowing for user collaboration and powerful visualizations in an intuitive user interface.
Enables development and deployment of optimization models quickly and accurately
Use OPL, an algebraic modeling language that makes it easier to understand and see constraints, goals and costs. Choose from a large set of interfaces, programming languages or deployment scenarios. Deploy in Java, Python, .NET, C and C++ or with a client/server architecture. Use built-in development tools for debugging, profiling, tuning and conflict detection. Enjoy total flexibility for modeling with a compact and expressive OPL, and an IDE with diverse model development services that no other organization provides.
Provides one solution for many industries
Watch this video to see how leading organizations from various industries across the world use IBM ILOG CPLEX Optimization Studio to achieve better outcomes. For example, a global logistics provider creates its next-generation logistics management platform. An arc welding systems and power source manufacturer in Italy reduces inventory by 15 percent and cuts lost orders by 70 percent. A financial services company helps banks reduce cross-shipping fees by 63 percent.
Testimonials
“ CPLEX Optimization Studio is very agile and provides answers for any scenario. It prepares us for the future by helping us make better decisions. ”
- Nevzat Çakmak
- Project Manager
- ÇimSA Çimento Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.
“ Technically, CPLEX is very easy to deploy and to implement into the techniques we were developing in our framework. So that was key in our decision. ”
- Birome Holo Ba, PhD
- Cofounder and CSO
- BioSCO SAS
“ You can’t just write regular programming code for it. You’ve got to model each of these things in an equation, and you’ve got to get that equation balanced and optimized. What CPLEX does is it actually solves this thing. ”
