FICO® Xpress Evaluation and Licensing Options

FICO® Xpress provides a commercial suite of optimization solvers designed to support advanced modeling and large-scale optimization to meet the needs of today's operations research professionals. 

With superior callback functionality, users can embed custom heuristics, enforce lazy constraints, modify branching strategies, monitor node-level performance metrics during branch-and-bound, and many more. The result is further performance and efficiency gains that are necessary to solve the world's largest, most challenging problems.  

FICO® Xpress equips users with APIs into their preferred programming language (e.g., Python, R, Java, etc.) to seamlessly integrate optimization into machine learning pipelines and broader MLOps architectures. Forecasts, predictions, and regression coefficients from machine learning models can be directly embedded within optimization models, enabling true prescriptive analytics on top of predictive insights. Xpress allows data scientists to turn ML-driven insights into optimal decisions with full control and transparency.

FICO® Xpress supports robust and stochastic optimization methodologies, allowing data scientists to incorporate the uncertainty from forecasts and predictions into their optimization models. The result is a more robust decision engine capable of providing optimal decisions under a variety of user-defined scenarios. 

Through FICO® Xpress Insight, business analysts can configure intuitive user interfaces on top of robust optimization models, allowing stakeholders to explore trade-offs, run what-if scenarios, and visualize optimal decisions on business data in real-time. 

FICO® Xpress Insight bridges the gap between advanced optimization algorithms and making business decisions. 

FICO® Xpress enables your organization to rapidly deliver high-impact optimization solutions across a wide range of business challenges without disrupting your existing IT infrastructure. Teams can build, test, and deploy new decision applications up to 80 % faster, accelerating time-to-value across business units. 

Many organizations realize positive ROI with the first solution deployed, while laying the foundation for continued innovation and enterprise-wide optimization.
