Oracle Crystal Ball
Decades of combined business, process, and finance expertise united with Oracle’s powerful spreadsheet based Crystal Ball application yields an enhanced predictive modeling tool, and provides analytical discipline for the decision structure.
The core analytical process:
1. Build Model – intuitive spreadsheet solutions, from simple to complex Read More
2. Identify your Decision Variables – isolate assumptions and decision variables
3. Simulate and Forecast – produce the desired results across a full range of appropriate possibilities Read More
4. Analyze Results and Make Decisions – identify the parameters that contain the “best” results Read More
This iterative process, based on a sound model, refines the input to suggest optimal values. Optimized input variables can produce desired results with quantifiable certainty. Thus, questions such as these can be addressed:
• What ranges of outcomes can be expected with varying degrees of certainty?
• How much certainty is required to be comfortable with the funding requirement?
• What are the most important decision variables, and where should analytical, development, or project resources be focused?
• How do results vary under multiple and/or overlapping stress scenarios?
• What is the optimal portfolio of projects to fund, based upon diverse completion timelines, probabilities of success, funding requirements, and expected returns?
These and many more specific questions can be addressed on a single desktop or on an integrated, enterprise platform with Oracle Crystal Ball.
