ADE 4.0
gives you Analytica's computational
muscle with the means to seamlessly link it to your software. With
ADE, you can deliver Analytica models to you end users as a Web
application or via a custom graphical user interface.
Using Visual Basic, Visual C++, Microsoft Office
applications, and many other environments, ADE lets you create
a user interface to your Analytica model which will allow your
customer to focus on model's insights, while shielded from the
structure and complexity of your decision support application.
Using ADE as a back-end to your custom application, your customers
won't need to learn Analytica, or any other modeling environment.
ADE can be linked to a Web server to provide decision support to
your customers around the office, the country, or the world.
When called from your application, ADE can read, modify, and
evaluate any Analytica model. ADE can also be used to create and
save models, which are completely compatible with Analytica.
The optional Optimizer module that
supports linear, quadratic, non-linear continuous and mixed-integer
program optimization is available for use with ADE.
