Oracle Crystal Ball Knowledge Zone

Why Partner with Oracle

The Oracle PartnerNetwork will empower your company with exceptional resources to distinguish your offerings from the competition, seize opportunities, and increase your sales.

Increase revenue. Decrease costs. Reduce development time. Every day you strive to meet these goals. And each business decision you make either enables you to advance toward them—or impedes your progress.

Spreadsheets and other data analysis tools lack the functionality, capacity, and power to do the necessary "what if" analyses required for successful performance management, business intelligence, and predictive modeling. You need an integrated solution capable of performing complex risk and uncertainty analyses across a broad range of applications.

Oracle’s Crystal Ball is the leading spreadsheet-based software suite for predictive modeling, forecasting, simulation, and optimization. Used by 85 percent of the Fortune 500, Crystal Ball gives you unparalleled insight into the critical factors affecting risk, and calculates the likelihood that you will reach your objectives. With Crystal Ball, you will make the right tactical decisions to move you toward your strategic goals and gain a competitive edge under even the most uncertain market conditions.
