Decision Support System (DSS)

A decision support system (DSS) is an interactive computer-based system that helps decision-makers utilize data, documents, and knowledge to identify and solve problems and make decisions.

It integrates data, models, and solvers to provide solutions for complex decision-making problems.

DSS vs. Operational Applications
