Dear Community,I’m pleased to announce that as of April 1, I have turned over my leadership roles at AIMMS to a team of experienced colleagues with whom I have been closely working together for many years. As non-executive board member and shareholder, I will continue to steward AIMMS towards expressing our purpose, living our values, and unleashing our full potential. Last October, I shared my intention to hand-off my leadership roles. As a follow-up, a group of experienced AIMMSians ran a project to determine the best way forward, ensuring continuity and a seamless transition.The team that is taking over my roles is more than ready to do so.

The next big step in growing and empowering our community is here! We’re very proud to introduce AIMMS Community Edition, a free entry point for anyone interested in building mathematical optimization models and applications using our feature-rich IDE. The Community Edition includes access to open-source solvers like CBC (for linear and mixed-integer problems), IPOPT (for nonlinear problems), and AOA solver (for mixed-integer nonlinear problems). It’s available for anyone to use for personal, non-commercial projects. Whether it’s crafting a plan to reduce your personal carbon footprint, creating a schedule for your kids’ school or simply to learn and experiment, AIMMS Community Edition is ideal for those who want to apply modeling to improve decision making. It’s also a great companion for recent graduates who previously used an AIMMS Academic License but want to continue playing with the software at no cost, or showcase their AIMMS skills to prospective employers.

Many of us in the online community know @Pratap Kumble, who has been our WebUI product owner for several years. Pratap is based in Bangalore, India and is part of the team at DevOn, one of our software development partners. Pratap is leaving the WebUI team later this month and moving to Germany to take up a new role. He will be succeeded by @Madhu Krishnappa, whom many of our community members also know. But we didn’t want to say goodbye without hearing more about his tenure at AIMMS. How would you describe working with AIMMS? It’s been a very different experience for me. With AIMMS, we were given a lot of trust and freedom to do what we think is best. AIMMS is also not a typical software company. Generally, in software development, you develop an application for users. When it comes to AIMMS, your user base is completely different. You are developing a product for modelers to build applications. This means you have 2 audiences: end users and modelers. This makes it an interesting so
The How To 'Read and Write CSV Files' has been updated. CSV files are a de facto standard for communication of data. AIMMS provides the libraries code:DataLink and code:CSVProvider in order to serialize CSV files. This article shows an example of how to read data from a CSV file.
AIMMS works with a global ecosystem of consulting companies and resellers to deliver powerful optimization solutions to customers. In this interview, we hear from UniSoma, a provider of advanced analytics solutions with 35 years of experience in the market. Based close to São Paulo in Brazil, UniSoma is AIMMS’ leading partner in Latin America. Together, we have helped companies like Tereos, Petrobras, Arcelor Mittal, Suzano, Marfrig and JBS improve supply chain decision-making. Read the interview with the company’s Technical Director, Volnei dos Santos, to learn more about their role in the Brazilian market and how data science has gone mainstream. Volnei, can you tell us more about your role at UniSoma? As Technical Director, I am responsible for choosing the technologies we use to address our customers’ business problems. I also organize our technical teams to best meet customer needs. Our relationships with customers vary. For example, it could be a project-based relationship, whe

12.37hrs (Amsterdam time) - The Azure version of the AIMMS Cloud Platform is down, because a key Azure service is down (compute nodes), most likely because of an operating system (Ubuntu) upgrade. Microsoft and Ubuntu teams are working on resolving the issue. We are expecting another update from Microsoft in the next hours. We will keep you posted.
!! UPDATE !! We are saddened to inform you that AIMMSFEST will no longer take place on April 3, 2020, due to the uncertain expansion of the coronavirus. The wellbeing of our community always comes first, and unfortunately this means steering away from our original plan to connect in person next month. To decide whether or not to join AIMMSFEST, under these circumstances, is a decision we don’t want to ask from our community. In the meantime, we are looking into activities that do not require travel which we could potentially host on April 3. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and look forward to meeting you in the near future. If you have any questions, please contact me. Sending you our best wishes, Kim Meijer AIMMS Marketing EMEA ORIGINAL MESSAGE Experience the power of the AIMMS Community live and in person APRIL 3, 2020 | 10 AM - 6 PM | AMSTERDAM, NL It's my pleasure to invite you to AIMMSFEST, a new speed networking event for the AIMMS community taking pl
AIMMS emerged 30 years ago to bring the benefits of optimization to society. The internet was in its infancy back then. As many of you know, our original UI was made for Windows, which meant that end users would need to use the Windows operating system in their computers to run AIMMS Apps. As time passed and the internet came of age, we realized that to truly democratize the power of optimization, AIMMS needed to be in the browser. That’s why we decided to develop the AIMMS WebUI, a tool that helps you build optimization apps in a browser, on any device, and create a web-based user interface for end users. Our decision to build the WebUI coincided with the launch of AIMMS PRO, which also made the deployment of AIMMS Apps more seamless. Besides making AIMMS software more accessible, the WebUI had a powerful side-effect. Suddenly, we could also make the output of AIMMS apps available for managers, mid-managers and anyone who wanted to see the results of their data through a brows
