It’s exciting times! The upcoming release is rich of features YOU have asked for!
With the November 2022 release of FICO Xpress, major updates and highly demanded features will be added to our software stack. To familiarize yourselves with these, we will host 7 webinars throughout November and December. In these, we will showcase the latest and greatest enhancements with technical deep dives to give model and app developers the tools they need to adopt them easily.
Upcoming Webinars:
FICO Xpress Solver
For FICO Xpress optimization solvers, you will be introduced to optimization with multiple objectives and to our beta launch of the global optimization solver. Two webinars will be held on December 6th (register here) and 7th (register here). Further, MIP performance enhancements year-over-year of 19% for models that take 100s or more have been accomplished due to improvements in all major engine components through dynamic branching strategies, cutting, heuristic and presolving strategies.
FICO Xpress Mosel
These new solver features are supported from Python and from our combined modelling and programming language, Xpress Mosel. The webinar on Nov 22nd will show how to use Mosel to model optimization problems with multiple objectives and how to formulate global optimization problems. We will also demonstrate several other new features, e.g., how the compiler helps to identify unused public entities. Register here!
FICO Xpress Insight
Xpress Insight has evolved to version 5 with a major leap in the underlying architecture, following modern security standards. Insight 5 versions can be properly upgraded via the installer and won’t need an uninstallation and re-installation process. A configurable watermark on the mast head has been introduced. We removed postgres dependency and are now using either a file-based storage (for local development) or MySQL 8 for production deployments. Modern SSO/SAML2 is supported. Such enhancements will be presented during the webinar on Nov 15th, as well as a preview of the main features that will be presented during upcoming Insight webinars. Register here!
A highly demanded feature, custom progress reporting, has been added already with the April ’22 release. It allows the model to send progress status information from a running model to the Insight view. It is then on the view developer to display it in the app context. Even better, the reverse is possible as well. Insight users can now interact with a running scenario, e.g., terminating a solve or stopping it gracefully. Fully customizable to the users’ and developers’ needs.
Enhancements to VDLx Datagrid, our open-source large table VDL component, enable it to display many types of raw data, allowing for on-the-fly data aggregation and filtering based on user input.
Given these are existing features for Insight 5, the webinar will be held first on November 8th. Register here.
If you are keen to learn more about the power of VDL Actions for data manipulation, the webinar on Dec 13th is the right one to attend. Register here! With Xpress Insight 5 we have improved support for displaying aggregate data through distribution and drill down charts that allows business experts to perform drill down analysis. In the same event, you will learn how to build and configure Xpress Insight 5 applications that can simulate FICO Decision Modeler entry points. It allows business experts to cater for various simulation use cases such as running historical reference data sets through a decision rule engine.
Last but not least, Xpress Insight 5 will offer much more flexibility when it comes to BI reporting. From now on, multiple Tableau dashboards can be embedded into the same view, side-by-side with VDL components. Mirroring now happens always on demand inherently to improve overall system performance. The order of scenarios on the shelf is handed over to Tableau. Via our versatile JS API other BI vendor software can be embedded in future as custom VDL extensions.
Learn more on Nov 29th how to migrate your Insight 4 apps with Tableau to Insight 5 and how to leverage the new functionality by registering here.
Stay tuned for our release announcements and the release notes for Xpress Solver 9.0, Xpress Mosel 6.2 and Xpress Insight 5.4 expected for mid of November.
