About Ascent Technology

Ascent Technology delivers powerful solutions for resource allocation, workforce optimization, and workforce management

Ascent Technology's products solve complex resource optimization, scheduling, management, and deployment problems for labor-intensive organizations, such as airlines, airports, casinos, defense, hospitals, hotels, resorts, restaurants, retail stores, and security.

Since our founding nearly 25 years ago by members of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Ascent Technology has helped organizations deploy costly human and physical resources as efficiently, effectively, and economically as possible.

We are world-class technologists, designers, and problem solvers. We bring together the best computer science research and technology, resource management expertise, and design skills to provide the functionality our customers need and want. We harden that functionality into robust solutions our customers use round the clock, day in and day out.

Ascent Technology's solutions ensure the right resources are in the right places at the right times...at the right cost

Our products provide outstanding performance in dynamic environments. They plan for and manage complex operations and handle dynamic resource demands, particularly in the face of unforeseen situations and unavoidable disruptions that require immediate response.

By providing the right information at the right times, Ascent Technology's products enable you to make the most appropriate decisions in both normal and abnormal situations. Our products not only detect potential problems that could disrupt future operations, but also recommend, in real time, the best operational responses to potential problems.

For example, Ascent Technology's SmartAirport Operations Center and SmartAirline Operations Center solutions enable airports, airlines, and handling agents to plan schedules and to manage dynamic ground and air situations in real time when weather, delayed flights, mechanical problems, and other unplanned events threaten to disrupt schedules.

The innovative Ascent WorkZone workforce management system creates the best plans to meet forecasted demand and then turns plans into actions by deploying human and physical resources in real time in response to actual conditions while minimizing delays, costs, and unnecessary work.

Ascent Technology designs innovative solutions that meet your needs
