But unlike other platforms that require extensive implementation consulting, six- to seven-figure budgets and year-long deployment schedules, Frontline’s tools enable a company’s own staff to get results in months, by leveraging what they already have: business expertise and Excel skills for model creation, modern low-code/no-code tools such as Power Apps and Power Automate for model deployment, and Office 365, Dynamics 365, Common Data Service, OneDrive, and CData’s Cloud Hub tools for data management.
Results from Analytics in Months, not YearsĪnalytic Solver plus RASON is a complete “decision management suite” that supports the full range of business rules, forecasting, machine learning, optimization and simulation methods, from small models to large, multi-stage analytics workflows. “These analytics projects yield results and ROI much faster, with less cost and risk.” “We’re enabling organizations to ‘move beyond Excel’, easily deploy analytics in the cloud, and govern both data and models – while still leveraging their Excel modeling skills” said Daniel Fylstra, Frontline’s President and CEO.
It is upward compatible from the Solver in Excel, which Frontline originally developed for Microsoft. RASON, an acronym for RESTful Analytic Solver Object Notation, is an Azure-hosted platform that enables users to ‘publish’, manage and govern analytic models as RESTful decision services, easily update them with new data and solve them, and easily use results in any application that can consume JSON or OData.
Platform enables low-code / no-code creation, deployment and management of analytics-powered decision services, combining business rules, forecasting, machine learning, optimization and simulation models aims to be best in class for Microsoft Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Office 365 and Azureįrontline Systems has released major new versions of both Analytic Solver®, its toolset for Excel for the Web, Windows and Macintosh, and RASON®, its cloud service on Azure, that enable companies to easily embed ‘decision intelligence’ in activities ranging from annual or quarterly planning to everyday business processes – yielding reduced costs and risks, in fields ranging from manufacturing and distribution to energy, pharmaceuticals, investment and insurance.Īnalytic Solver works in Microsoft Excel to enable business analysts who aren’t data scientists to build and solve analytic models themselves.
