Lunch Lecture Anago

Anago is a Dutch software company founded in 1999 and is specialised in smart planning solutions. We have developed our own no-code development environment for modelling planning applications. We work for large organisations such as AirFrance KLM, Heineken, UWV, IND and the Ministry of Social Affairs. Examples of planning systems are the long-term planning of a customer contact centre, the scheduling of engine services at KLM and the planning of the asylum seekers chain.
Anago Planning applications are modelled using high level building blocks such as data cubes, calculation engines, integrations and views. The result of the application model is a fully working cloud solution.
Typically, the planning calculations involve mathematics such as aggregation and allocation, statistical forecasting, various optimisation algorithms and a free model language.
Currently, Anago is relying on a multi-dimensional database system (OLAP) that is becoming more and more a bottleneck. We are looking into ways to extend this environment with smart ways of handling the calculations, such as automatically detecting changes to the data and rewriting expressions in order to recalculate the results.
We are researching the best ways of handling these challenges. During the lunch lecture we want to introduce you to our world of developing a modelling environment such as Anago and the concepts behind our engine. You will learn how a low-code or no-code platform is set up and can be used to create state-of-the-art cloud solutions.
Depending on the restrictions, this lecture will probably be online - but keep an eye on your email for the latest updates! The lecture will be given by Fraser Wilson, Software Architect at Anago and Thomas de Nooij, Founder of Anago.
