Nextmv will be at INFORMS Analytics+ 2026, and we’re excited to see you there!
Visit us at booth #207 in the exhibit area to say hello and learn more about Nextmv. We’re hosting a workshop, presenting a technical showcase, and demoing all the DecisionOps goodness of Nextmv. Learn more below.
Want to learn how to connect your model in just 20 minutes? Sign up for a 1-on-1 session with a member of the Nextmv team.
When: Sunday, April 12, 2026 from 1:00 PM - 2:45 PM
Where: TBD
Accessibility: Free and open to all conference registrants
Presenters: Nicole Misek and Ryan O’Neil
Supporting staff: Carolyn Mooney
Decision models drive significant ROI in cost savings, carbon emissions, customer satisfaction, personnel safety, and more. But there are overlooked inefficiencies outside the solver that compound during development, eroding stakeholder trust and confidence. And when it comes time to plug your model into software architectures, the project flounders and fails.
Much of OR training and education has traditionally focused on the elegant and powerful math driving decision models. More recently, leaders within the community are realizing that a software-conscious mindset is necessary for the discipline’s success. The good news: The tools and practices best suited to address this gap are more accessible than ever before.
This session will cover how to leverage the Nextmv platform to easily incorporate DecisionOps into OR and decision science projects. We’ll walk through hands-on exercises that demonstrate using an open source framework for structured local model development that can progress into robust model management, versioning, monitoring, testing, collaboration, and orchestration.
Throughout, you’ll see how to engage stakeholders efficiently by comparing individual model runs, performing scenario tests, comparing multiple models, and seamlessly integrating into the larger decision stack.
Join us for this interactive session that will demonstrate these workflows, allow for hands-on experimentation, and Q&A. This session is relevant to anyone working with tools such as: OR-Tools, Pyomo, HiGHS, Vroom, Gurobi, AMPL, Hexaly, FICO Xpress, NVIDIA cuOpt, IBM CPLEX, CVXPY, and more.

What input was used to run the model? What model version did it run on? Where are we tracking new model development? How long will it take to reproduce the experiment setup that generated the most recent test results? Is it safe to roll out the newest model iteration? And do we have a fallback model we can leverage just in case?
All of these questions are part of everyday decision model development. Answering them efficiently is critical to innovating within the discipline and driving sustained project success within teams and organizations. Too often teams rely on fragile or incomplete infrastructure to support these workflows, if they’re lucky to have them at all. Harness the DecisionOps habits that leading teams have used to drive greater and more sustained project success.
Join this session to learn about best practices for managing the full decision model lifecycle: from versioning, environment setup, CI/CD integration, model drift monitoring, rollout strategies, and more.
