Licensing and Training

The DecisionTools Suite is available through a variety of licensing options, including corporate, network, and academic licenses. Training, consulting, and books can be bundled with your software to ensure you and your staff get the most out of your investment.

100% Excel

@RISK simulations are calculated 100% within Excel, supported by Palisade sampling and statistics proven in over twenty years of use. Palisade does not attempt to rewrite Excel in an external recalculator to gain speed. A single recalculation from an unsupported or poorly reproduced macro or function can dramatically change your results. Where will it occur, and when? Palisade harnesses the power of multiple CPUs and multi-core processors to give you the fastest calculations. Correct results—and fast—using @RISK and the DecisionTools Suite!

Excel Ease of Use

The DecisionTools Suite integrates completely with your spreadsheet. Browse, define, analyze – while never leaving Excel. All DecisionTools Suite functions are true Excel functions, and behave exactly as native Excel functions do. Windows are all linked directly to cells in your spreadsheet, so changes in one place are carried out in the other. Graphs point to their cells via callout windows. Drag-and-drop ease, context-sensitive right-click menus, and intuitive toolbars make learning and navigating DecisionTools Suite a snap.

Two Editions to Meet Your Needs

The DecisionTools Suite is an integrated set of programs for risk analysis and decision making under uncertainty that run in Microsoft Excel. The DecisionTools Suite 5.5.1 includes new versions of @RISK for Monte Carlo simulation, PrecisionTree for decision trees, and TopRank for “what if” sensitivity analysis. In addition, the DecisionTools Suite comes with new versions of StatTools for statistical analysis and forecasting, NeuralTools for predictive neural networks, and Evolver and RISKOptimizer for optimization. All programs work together better than ever before, and all integrate completely with Microsoft Excel for ease of use and maximum flexibility.

 All products in the DecisionTools Suite have been fully translated into Spanish, German, French, Portuguese and Japanese. All dialogs, menus, documentation, examples and tutorials have been carefully translated, making the DecisionTools Suite more accessible to decision makers around the world.
