When I walked into Banjara Hills, Hyderabad office of Core Compete (now shifted to Gachibowli, 3rd office) only thought in my mind was did I take wise decision by choosing Core Compete over a global giant.  Today, I can say that it was the best professional decision I have taken.

Yes, we are growing fast, but that’s not the only reason that I love working at Core Compete.  In last 6 years I worked for multiple clients across multiple domain using different advance analytical techniques and technology platform.I got opportun...

There are multiple OR packages to solve the optimization problems at academic as well as industry levels. One of the best OR packages that I am using is the SAS OR package. It has a capability to model highly complex problems and program it if required. Most of the optimization algorithms have been implemented on SAS.  In SAS we call Procedure to any function. There are many procedures which are SAS implementation of the OR algorithms. But there is a procedure called Proc Opt Model using which we can call different algorithms to solve any optimization problems. We can write  programs also inside it implement some constraints which can not be directly coded. I think this is very powerful tool for an operational research analyst. I use this procedure to model the business problems. I learnt it myself by going through user documentation. The SAS document explains clearly how can we use SAS OR packages with examples. In fact all the examples given in the HP Williams Model Buildin...
