Dr Robert Leese, Chief Technical Officer at the Smith Institute, commented,
“We have found that Gurobi’s Optimizer is the best software out there for solving complex business problems. It is robust, scalable, and performs outstandingly against all benchmarks. At Smith Institute, it allows us to do a better job for our customers, and we are delighted that Gurobi has selected the Smith Institute as its first Premier Partner in the UK.”
To qualify for Premier Partner Status, organisations need to have a demonstrated track record of expertise in solving complex optimization problems. This select group of partners has extensive experience working both with the Gurobi Optimizer and the Gurobi Support and Development teams. This allows them to fully exploit the capabilities of the solver which, in turn, helps applications developed by Premier Partners to solve mission-critical problems quickly and effectively.
