A decision support system provider focuses on delivering the software, technology, and tools that constitute the core decision support system itself. This provider’s primary role is to offer the software platform that enables data analysis, modeling, visualization, and other decision support functionalities. They might offer various versions or editions of the DSS software to cater to different user needs. However, the DSS provider typically does not handle the operational aspects, customization, ongoing maintenance, or user support beyond the core software package.
