On optimizing optimization teams

Traditional decision optimization and automation setups can take many months and several teams to ship to production. What if it didn’t have to be that way?

To know your solver is to know what’s possible

Solvers help us tackle big problems. But how well do you understand the solver technology that you have? Did you build it? Buy it? Will it scale with your operations?

What is decision automation?

It’s new and yet old. It bridges data science and business operations. And it’s an emerging piece of critical infrastructure for realizing a more efficient, responsive, and predictable world.

Optimization, why it matters, how it’s changing, and more — an interview with Thiago Serra

From software development to operations research to the classroom, Professor Thiago Serra has experienced the world of optimization through many lenses. We chatted with him to learn more.

A 2021 look back and 2022 preview

A lot happened at Nextmv in 2021. Here’s a 5-minute rundown of all the goodness the team dispatched and a mini preview of what’s to come in 2022.

The what, why, and how of DecisionOps: Accelerating time to value for optimization

How do optimization teams get decision models live into business processes faster as managed services? We explore this through the lens of dedicated DecisionOps workflows.

In conversation with Ox and The Rounds: Circular logistics and human-centered automation

The CEOs and founders of two startups sit down with Carolyn Mooney to discuss logistics and automation, navigating the evolving world of AI technology, and the benefits of efficiency and sustainability.

In conversation with Dr. Karla Hoffman about optimization and operations research

Is optimization a solved problem? How does it fit into modern business models such as on-demand delivery? What does it mean to model like an operator? We’ll ask Dr. Hoffman these questions and more.
