As we quickly roll through this holiday season, the entire Oracle Crystal Ball team would like to wish you all the best for the final days of 2008 and the beginning of a wonderful new year.
This past year has brought many changes and improvements to our products and resources, along with a few challenges along the way, which is why we’d also like to say "thank you" for your continued interest in Crystal Ball.
A New Type of Resource
We're always striving to improve our selection of customer resources. Our solutions team has developed a new prebuilt bundle of Crystal Ball resources that will not only provide an interesting use case for our software, but also deliver the template model and a video demonstrating its execution. This is our first prebuilt solution, and we expect to roll out more in 2009.

Product Price Optimization and Lifecycle Simulation
Price-setting is somewhat of an art, depending on historical pricing, competitive landscape, and intuition. The Crystal Ball Product Price Optimization and Lifecycle Simulation uses Monte Carlo simulation to forecast the net effects of variability in the key pricing factors.
To download this solution, visit our Solutions Factory and enter pin cb4me, then navigate to Industries Business / Finance.
As with any new concept, we welcome feedback through our Solutions Factory home page.

Education Alliance
The Crystal Ball Education Alliance supports our academic and higher education customers through sales of both classroom and professional software and a comprehensive set of resources to educate and engage students, faculty, and administrators.
Crystal Ball for Administrators
Learn how Crystal Ball can help your administration better forecast tuition and enrollment, predict housing needs, optimize scholarship funds, and more. E-mail Crystal Ball Sales Manager Michael Franden for details.
New Resource
We have developed a model that debuted at the Southern Association for Institutional Research regional conference in October. In collaboration with Clemson University, our team designed an enrollment projection model for tuition revenue, budgeting and planning, parking management, and facilities. It was well received by several attendees who have asked to have Crystal Ball presented to their administration teams. To learn more or request a demonstration of this resource, contact Crystal Ball Sales Manager
Michael Franden.
