1. IBM ILOG CPLEX: Model business issues mathematically and solve them with IBM ILOG
CPLEX Optimizer's powerful algorithms to produce precise and logical decisions. IBM ILOG
CPLEX Optimizer's mathematical programming technology enables decision optimization for
improving efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing profitability. It provides flexible, high-
performance mathematical programming solvers for linear programming, mixed integer
programming, quadratic programming, and quadratically constrained programming problems.
2. IBM SPSS Statistics: A software package used for statistical analysis. It is now officially named
"IBM SPSS Statistics". Companion products in the same family are used for survey authoring
and deployment (IBM SPSS Data Collection), data mining (IBM SPSS Modeler), text analytics,
and collaboration and deployment (batch and automated scoring services). IBM SPSS Statistics
is an integrated family of products that addresses the entire analytical process, from planning to
data collection to analysis, reporting and deployment. With more than a dozen fully integrated
modules to choose from, you can find the specialized capabilities you need to increase revenue,
outperform competitors, conduct research and make better decisions.
3. ARENA Simulation Software: Arena is used by many large companies engaged in simulating
business processes. Some of these firms include General Motors, UPS, IBM, Nike, Xerox,
Lufthansa, Ford Motor Company, and others. It has been noted that creating a simulation can
require more time at the beginning of a project, but quicker installations and product
optimizations can reduce overall project time. Arena can simulate diverse operation types,
including call centers, for optimizing the use of agents and phone lines, the size and routing of
pancake stacks in a food processing facility, and the design of a gold mine.
