The Professional Edition of Crystal Ball 2000 is the most comprehensive suite of risk analysis and forecasting tools available. By combining risk analysis and optimization, Crystal Ball 2000 Professional Edition helps not only to understand risk, but also guides users to make the right decisions.
The Professional Edition includes all the features and benefits of the Standard Edition and adds additional power to help users make better decisions. Since the program is a fully integrated Microsoft add-in, it seamlessly extends the power of Excel spreadsheet models.

OptQuest Does: Global optimization software that searches for optimal choice for a given business decision.

The step-by-step OptQuest wizard guides the process of defining constraints, specifying the objective of the outcome, and setting the requirements. OptQuest automatically performs the calculations based on those specifications and pinpoints the best, or optimal, solution. OptQuest then transfers the best solution into the user’s spreadsheet model.

CB Predictor Does: Incorporate advanced methods of time-series forecasting by analyzing historical data to predict future outcomes. CB Predictor also allows users to easily create regression models that use multiple data series to create predictions.

Developer Kit Does: Bring complete automation and control to simulations and forecasts from within a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) program or any other language outside of Excel that supports OLE 2 automation.

Crystal Ball 2000 Standard Edition Does: Easy-to-use Excel add-in that performs Monte Carlo analysis on your new or existing spreadsheet models.

Crystal Ball Tools Does: A set of advanced plug-ins created through the same macros as in the Developer Kit. These tools add extra functionality to Crystal Ball 2000 by automating model-building tasks and adding methods that help you analyze your modeling results.

• Batch Fit - Automated distribution fitting for multiple data sets.

• Tornado Chart -Helps you determine which variables should become assumptions.

• Correlation Matrix - Lets you rapidly define and change your assumption correlations.

• Bootstrap - Assesses the reliability and accuracy of your forecasts.

• Decision Table - Lets you quickly evaluate the effects of a range of decisions on your forecast variable.

• Scenario Analysis - Allows you to see which assumption values (inputs) produced a specific forecast result.

• 2D Simulation - Independently addresses uncertainty and variability in your simulation model to enhance your analysis.
