Dr. Roy Marsten was a professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology and a co-author of the leading mathematical software library CPLEX, with over 70% market share. Leading companies approached Dr. Marsten to solve a critical problem. "We are in a data driven economy and our employees need a self-serve solution for data analysis. This is a requirement to compete effectively in this economy," a company representative said. The solution would have to be designed for business users. Intuitive, fast and require no data analysis skills. Dr. Marsten founded Emcien and began designing pattern-based analytics solutions that reveal patterns and trends - and have the ability to deliver an answer to the user, with no analysis required. From the beginning, Emcien's mission has been to move beyond coding, laborious data mining, search and brute force methods that characterize most analytics efforts. Dr. Marsten, author of more than 30 papers on computational optimization in academic journals, has been a professor at Northwestern University, MIT, the University of Arizona, and the Georgia Institute of Technology before becoming an entrepreneur. In 1987, Dr. Marsten founded XMP Software, which was acquired by ILOG/CPLEX (ILOG was later acquired by IBM). The optimization libraries in ILOG/CPLEX are the most widely used of their kind and drive applications inside SAP, i2 Technologies - now JDA Software - and others. He was the recipient of the Beale-Orchard-Hays Prize for Excellence in Computational Mathematics awarded by the Mathematical Programming Society. Dr. Marsten was co-founder of Idmon Corp. with Ms. Subramanian. Based on their work at Idmon, Dr. Marsten and Ms. Subramanian were finalists for the Franz Edelman Prize for Excellence in Management Science awarded by the Institute for Operations Research and Management Science.
