Industry Leading Optimization Capabilities
Premium Solver Platform provides the best-in-class tools you need to solve virtually any conventional optimization problem of any size, while helping you along the way.
| Excel Solver compatible | Use existing Solver models and VBA macros as-is, but solve faster -- just open your workbook and solve. |
| Available for Mac | Premium Solver Platform and a set of plug-in, large-scale Solver Engines are available for Excel 2011 for Macintosh -- click for details and a free trial. |
| Upgrade to full analytics | Upgrade Premium Solver Platform for Windows to handle stochastic and robust optimization, all the way to full-power predictive and prescriptive analytics. |
| Unlimited size models | Handle problems with up to 8,000 decision variables (40 times larger than the Excel Solver) using built-in Solver engines, and virtually unlimited size problems with optional plug-in Solver engines. |
| Easier model building | Our Constraint Wizard helps you think about and define constraints. Guided Mode helps you better understand your model, refine it for better answers in less time, and find and correct any errors. When you're up to speed, Auto-Help Mode gives you expert help only when you encounter an error. |
| Helpful example models | Over 60 example models show you step by step how to create a basic Solver model, build more complex models, and use more advanced features. |
| Better solutions | Find better solutions to portfolio optimization problems, global optimization problems, and models using arbitrary Excel functions with the built-in LP/Quadratic, SOCP Barrier, Interval Global and Evolutionary Solvers. |
| Faster solutions | Find solutions between 2X and 200X faster thanks to more advanced Solver engines, better optimization algorithms, and our super-fast, proven accurate PSI Interpreter. |
| Insightful reports & charts | Easily understand and share results, and get insight into the key drivers of your model results and potential decision trade-offs you can make. |
| Easy to use interface | Use either a dialog-based interface that matches the basic Excel Solver, or our Ribbon and Task Pane interface with quick access to advanced features and help. |
| Remove guesswork | Simply define your model in Excel -- Premium Solver Platform will analyze it algebraically and automatically choose the best available Solver engine for it. |
| Automatic transformation | Premium Solver Platform goes beyond model analysis -- if your model would solve slowly because it uses functions like IF, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP, MIN and MAX, it will seek to transform your model automatically into a form that can be solved much more quickly and accurately. |
| Upgrade Solver Engines | We developed the solver in Excel -- you get an extremely powerful, 100% compatible upgrade now, and the ability to "plug in" the world's best Solver engines for every type of optimization problem, whenever you need them. Your plug-in Solver engines will work with all our Platform products. |

The Best Optimization Technology for the Best Solutions
At the heart of Premium Solver Platform is the combination of our advanced Solver Engines and our proprietary PSI Interpreter -- which algebraically analyzes your formulas, delivers model structure information crucial for advanced optimization algorithms, computes function gradient and curvature results with maximum speed and accuracy, and fully exploits multiple processor cores. And we make all this advanced technology easy -- even automatic -- for you to use.
With Premium Solver Platform you'll get more accurate results in less time, no matter what type of optimization problem you are trying to solve, and what Solver Engine you use to solve it. No other product comes close -- except our own Risk Solver Platform, an even more powerful product that 100% upward compatible from Premium Solver Platform!
