The Solve plug-in for Tabulate is a set of wizards and engines designed to let users build decision models and drive advanced optimization logic for what-if and prescriptive analyses. The Tabulate spreadsheet tool provides a strong paradigm for business users to design their business and decision flow logic through cells and formulas combined with live data feeding those elements. This "graphical" approach in the Tabulate / Solve combination offers the ability to
- drive optimizations with live data that can be changed by end users in live interactive presentations, without accessing the Solve logic and spreadsheet directly
- drive optimizations that will adjust based on new data feeds into the prescribed models and these in turn driving downstream capabilities (like data alerts, publications, API triggers etc)
- drive optimizations that are customized to each user and their secured data sets
