Following a long and successful academic career with positions at USC, Tel Aviv University and UCLA, Professor BenBassat established himself as one of the world's leaders in the area of optimization and decision support software for a wide variety of applications. His research work was supported by DARPA (The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency); NIH (National Institute of Health); Ballistic Missile Defense Agency (via TRW); ARI (U.S. Army Research Institute); NASA; and NSF (National Science Foundation).
Professor BenBassat has published extensively in leading professional journals, led many executive training workshops, and has lectured in numerous industry events worldwide. In 1996 Professor BenBassat coined the term "service chain optimization" - as an analogy to supply chain optimization - and is considered the "guru" in this field.

These include software products for service scheduling, equipment troubleshooting and repair support, resource and capacity optimization, analytics, and demand forecasting.
