Vanguard Software presents its Vanguard Global Optimizer™ at the 2010 INFORMS Conference

Vanguard CEO Rob Suggs demonstrates how Vanguard Global Optimizer solves problems that defy traditional optimization techniques

Cary, NC – April 28, 2010 – Vanguard Software exhibited its new resource optimization solution, Vanguard Global Optimizer™, at the 2010 INFORMS Conference in Orlando, Florida. Vanguard offered a pre-conference technology workshop to showcase the latest developments in its product line, demonstrating how the Global Optimizer solves complex decision problems by combining intelligent search strategies with the power of grid computing. The workshop featured how Global Optimizer is not limited by restrictions on linearity, discontinuity, stochasticity, and model characteristics that limit most other optimization software.

Vanguard CEO, Rob Suggs, presented a talk on optimizing complex business decisions, Optimizing Problems that Defy Traditional Techniques. The presentation explained how most business problems defy traditional optimization software because they contain complicated, yet real-world, constraints and uncertainty. A demonstration of the new Global Optimizer on a wide range of problems illustrated how its optimization capability is integrated with Vanguard's advanced forecasting, Web-based collaboration, and interactive Web-based reporting features.
