1. ABOUT DECISIONWARE (DW)
DecisionWare (DW) is company based on information technology, pioneer in Latin America, aimed at specialized consulting and design, implementation and start-up of Decision Support Systems (DSS), that integrate state of the art technologies of Advanced Analytics & Optimization, like: Mathematical Programming, Advanced Probabilistic Modeling, Matheuristics, Machine Learning and Artificial Neural Nets. The knowledge capital that has developed DW are:
1. OPTEX Optimization Expert System a robot (an informatics tool) that capitalize the experience in mathematical modeling and that generate Decision Support Systems in many technological platforms like IBM ILOG, GAMS, AMPL, MOSEL, AIMMS, C. More information in https://www.dhirubhai.net/pulse/optex-optimization-expert-system-new-approah-make-models-velasquez/
OPTEX is a state-of-the-art advanced smart algorithm that generates source codes for advanced analytics algorithms, using a normalized methodology to make mathematical models.
The paper The Future of Mathematical Programming presents the future of OPTEX

3. OPCHAIN (OPtimizing the Value CHAIN) a collection of specialized solutions, based in mathematical models, for optimize the value chain in: general agroindustry supply chains, transport systems, energy systems (oil, gas, electricity), retail systems, logistics bank systems, financial and risk management, marketing optimization, mines and regional planning. More information in the Catalogue of OPCHAIN: https://goo.gl/3EP9j9, it contains "all" models that DW has done or design.
OPCHAIN Mathematical Models that have been developed as result of more than forty years of mathematical modeling. The computer algorithms can be delivered in multiple optimization technologies: GAMS, IBM OPL, MOSEL, AMPL, AIMMS, PYTHON, R, C and others. These models can used to create/potentialize specialized optimization companies and/or Advanced Analytics Departments of large industrial/services companies.
2. DOING BUSINESS WITH DW-DOA
2.1. CLIENTS
Customers can access the DW-DOA optimization technologies mathematical models in the following forms:
1. On premise, in this case the software is installed and runs on the servers indicated by the customer. The software can be sold or leased to the customer.
2. On demand, in this case the customer has access to software on a server of DW in the cloud (cloud). The software may also be rented by periods (years, months, semesters, weeks). The databases of the customer may be in a customer server.
3. As a service, through a professional services contract in which DW or DOA assumes the responsibility to carry out the agreed work.
4. Software Factory, the customer delivers to DW-DOA the formulation of the mathematical model and test data and DW delivers to the customer a decision-making support system composed of: i) source of the mathematical model in the selected optimization technology (GAMS, IBM CPLEX, MOSSEL, AMPL, AIMMS,...), ii) data model of information system and iii) test run to probe the correct functioning of the model.
5. Joint Ventures, special projects designed to develop the Analytical Power of an organization through a holistic technology transfer process based on the real-life experience of DW
1.2. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES
There are many alternatives to create value from the know-how of DW-DOA, include the following possibilities:
1. Producers of Optimization Algorithms: OPTEX can act as the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for its algorithms in general computer language, like C, PYTHON, R
2. Producers of High-Level Optimization Technologies: Can incorporated OPTEX characteristics (know how) in its products
3. Consulting Companies and Producers of Applied Advanced Analytics: OPTEX is agnostic with respect to optimization technologies, this property guarantees the separation of models of computer programs, which ensures: i) the portability of mathematical models and ii) the maintenance and modernization of them in the long-term
4. Angel Investors: DW-DOA has create and Expert Computer Algorithm (OPTEX) that creates Advanced Analytics Algorithms; this type of artificial intelligence is part of the future: the robotization
5. Young Entrepreneurs in Advanced Analytics. To be an innovator in advanced analytics OPTEX-OPCHAIN can help the entrepreneurs with the knowledge capital that is required. This decision can accelerate the growth of the start-up company.
6. Optimization as a Service (OAAS): DW-DOA can provide the knowledge and the technologies needed to provide services in the cloud. An example is the project Small & Medium Enterprises - Supply Chain Optimization on the Cloud oriented to optimizes the SME supply chains.
