Denver, CO, April 30, 2007 -– Decisioneering®, Inc., an innovator of software and services for risk analysis and optimization, today announced the release of Crystal Ball® 7.3, the newest version of the company’s flagship product used by 85 percent of Fortune 500 companies and embedded in the curriculum of over 700 universities around the world.

Building on two decades of experience in the predictive analytics business, Crystal Ball 7.3 offers users new features, efficiency improvements and superior performance. New features include:

• Windows Vista™ and Microsoft® Office 2007 Compatibility

Crystal Ball 7.3 is the first release of the software officially supported on both Office 2007 and Windows Vista. Crystal Ball 7.3 now includes a new Microsoft Excel® 2007 Crystal Ball ribbon for easy access to the tools and features. Users will be able to benefit from the new capabilities found in Excel 2007.

• Scatter Charts

Crystal Ball 7.3 offers users the ability to create scatter charts, which display one set of numerical data along the x-axis and another along the y-axis. Scatter charts display correlations, dependencies, and other relationships between pairs of forecasts and assumptions plotted against each other. This additional investigative tool provides a visual way to make more informed decisions.

• Ability to start and stop Crystal Ball inside Microsoft Excel

After Excel has started, users can now open and close Crystal Ball manually or automatically, depending on their preferences.

“Crystal Ball has always been a key tool for Excel users who want to model risk,” said David Gainer, group program manager for Microsoft Excel. “The Microsoft Office 2007 interface in Crystal Ball 7.3 provides a compelling new user experience for both new and existing Crystal Ball users, making the product both easier to learn and more efficient to use.”

“Working with Microsoft and being one of the first predictive analytics companies to create software compatible with Windows Vista and Office 2007 was something very important for us and for our customers,” said Eric Butz, vice president of engineering at Decisioneering, Inc. “The addition of scatter charts provides Crystal Ball users with another powerful visual tool to use when evaluating their data.”
