Decisioneering works with leading publishers
to include Crystal Ball in textbooks and professional and trade books. Our growing list includes more than 70 books, 40 of which include a 140-day textbook license of Crystal Ball Professional.
Bundling Crystal Ball with a book or textbook helps authors and publishers increase book sales, provides instructors a personal copy and an easy way to incorporate risk analysis into their course and saves students money from purchasing software and textbooks separately.
For additional information on upcoming books or how to bundle Crystal Ball with your book, contact the Academic Marketing Manager.

INFORMATIONAL SEMINARS |
|
|
INVITE US TO YOUR CAMPUS!
As part of our educational
outreach program, Decisioneering sends representatives to campuses to
present informational seminars or "brown-bag lunches" on the importance
of risk analysis. What better way to have students and faculty learn
about Monte Carlo simulation, spreadsheet risk analysis, and the
Crystal Ball line of software tools?
Past school visits have included
University of Wisconsin-Madison, Westminster College, Colorado School
of Mines, University of Colorado and Purdue University. Our goal for
this program is to help introduce, in one or two hours, the basic
principles of spreadsheet risk analysis and how it can be used by
business professionals. Our seminars can be adapted to fit your
specific schedule and program.
For
more information, contact our Academic Marketing Manager at
800.289.2550 (in US), +1 303.534.1515, or education@crystalball.com.
