If you have feedback on issues/bugs/improvements, we welcome your feedback via Please check back on the forum for future announcements with regards to the new analytics product.Popular “prescriptive analytics” Software Development Kit now includes R and Python object-oriented APIs and embedded RASON modeling language, enabling developers to use mathematical optimization and simulation/risk analysis methods in their applications. We have been responding to email and will continue to do so. However, Microsoft will be providing limited support of MSF in terms of monitoring the forums and providing bug fixes during this transition time. We would like to continue to keep the current forum open to the community to discuss MSF until the release of the new product. This new product will provide a migration path for current Solver Foundation users and partners. We look forward to releasing this new product for your use as soon as we are able to do so. We are working hard on integrating Microsoft Solver Foundation into a larger analytics framework that will help users build both prescriptive and predictive analytics. The current 3.1 release of MSF will be the last release as a standalone install.

So, here is a long overdue statement about our plans for Solver Foundation. We know we have very loyal and enthusiastic users who want to know the future of Solver Foundation. We have been quiet while we have gone through restructuring and planning. Here is the announcement from the Solver Foundation MSDN forum:Īs users have pointed out, Microsoft has not been active on the Solver Foundation forums since Nate left. If you are looking for other optimization or analytics frameworks, consider Azure ML or Frontline Systems’ Solver SDK. Microsoft has announced that there will not be further standalone releases of Solver Foundation.
