Nextmv FICO® Xpress Integration: Accelerating optimization teams with modern DecisionOps

We’ve partnered with FICO® Xpress Solver to provide a modern DecisionOps platform experience to FICO Xpress users, allowing them to create end-to-end decision pipelines for model deployment, testing, collaboration, and monitoring at scale.

Reproduce and replay optimization model runs to troubleshoot operational issues faster

When an operational issue is reported, reproducing it is one of the first steps in an investigation. Finding and connecting the data you need to triage the issue can be intensive. With Nextmv, replaying history (with easy access to all the data) is just a click away.

Deploy Python decision models as hosted apps directly from a Jupyter Notebook

Push your Python decision model from a local file to a remote application in minutes – whether you’re using a notebook or running in another Python environment. Conduct tests with fully featured experimentation tooling, collaborate and share results with teammates, and get observability into model performance.

Auto-select the best plan from your optimization when comparing decision models and solvers

Run multiple solvers or models in parallel to automatically select the best plan for your business with ensemble runs. Use your unique rules as selection criteria to easily converge on a plan, validate model configuration, and encourage stakeholder buy-in.

A 2024 lookback and 2025 preview of DecisionOps workflows

2024 was the year of the Python modeling experience, optimization integrations, and helping modelers find solutions even faster with parallel runs and interactive visualizations. In 2025, we look forward to combining ML & OR, more data integrations, and decision pipelines for smoother operations.

In conversation with Meinolf Sellmann, creator of Seeker

Increasingly, OR practitioners are seeking to incorporate more real-world uncertainty into decision models instead of only relying on deterministic optimization approaches. In this interview, we’ll explore this topic through the lens of Seeker, a new stochastic optimization solver.
