Visit Analytica

Analytica is a visual software environment for building, exploring, and sharing quantitative decision models. It addresses the challenge of turning large volumes of data into usable decisions by making assumptions, uncertainties, decisions, and objectives visible in influence diagrams, so stakeholders can inspect the reasoning behind a result rather than relying on opaque calculations.

Core capabilities include influence diagrams for visual modeling, Intelligent Arrays for multidimensional tables, and Monte Carlo simulation for evaluating risk and uncertainty. Assista, an AI collaborator, helps users learn the software, build and explain models, and critique or improve them. Models can be shared with colleagues and clients, and Analytica Cloud Platform (ACP) provides browser-based access for collaboration and web deployment. The Analytica Decision Engine (ADE) offers a COM API for embedding models in other applications, and the Optimizer edition supports linear, nonlinear, quadratic, and integer programming with external solvers such as Gurobi and Knitro.

Analytica is used across industries, government, and academia, including research and teaching. It is available as a Free Edition for students, educators, and personal learning, with annual subscription editions for Professional, Developer, and Optimizer use. ACP is offered as Basic and Premium group plans with named-user access, or on a dedicated server for enterprise and government deployments. Educational institutions and non-profits are eligible for discounted subscriptions, and company-wide or floating licenses are available.
