Risk Analysis Software

Did you know, what are the critical factors in your Business that are affecting risk?

Are your still following the intuitive business decision making to drive your business and expecting it to lead the business landscape which is getting competitive like never before. 21st Century is an era of Information Age, where everything is dependent on Business related information you posses. Beyond that, the real success depends on capability to analyze the Data and Information related to Business.

Often as a business enterprise, you are dealt with various risk analysis and risk management tasks. What are all those critical factors that affect risk and subsequently your business decision, it is very important to get clear picture about the same? With ever increasing Data and Business Information, you can no more depend and take decision on your Institutions. Definitely, Risk Analysis and Business Analytics are the solution for such challenges in Business decision making.

How Risk Analysis Software – Oracle Crystal Ball can be helpful?

Before discussion benefits of Risk Analysis Software, I want to write down few things which financial analysts, consultants, business managers, business analysts and business analyst are dealt with on day to day basis:-

a. “WHAT IF” Risk Analysis: On daily bases, it’s the responsibility of analysts to find out critical factors that can affect risk. What is we opt in Project A instead of Project B? What if I create Warehouse at Location A instead of Location B? These are important questing to be answered to decide.

b. Forecasting: It is a very broad term, it could be related to project planning, material requirement, business sales performance, manufacturing, budgeting etc. It is very critical to forecast precisely, the future requirements and scenario, in order to plan well in advance and minimize the risk associated with uncertainties.

c. Correlated Assumption: We have to find out extent of dependencies on various factors and how much it can affect our performance.

d. Constraint Based Performance: We have to identify and measure the affect on performance under set of defined constraints.

It takes lot of time if we start manually calculating by applying all the mathematical and statistical analysis techniques, rather there is maximum possibility that we shy away investing time in calculations and get strayed away by intuitive and behavioral decision making which in comparison to analytics, is less precise and less certain.

Benefits of Oracle Crystal Ball Risk Analysis Software:-

Forecasting with Crystal Ball makes your decision 95% certain using following techniques:-

• Advanced mathematical functions e.g. forecasts, budgets, project plans, order quantities etc.

• Constraint based decision optimizer

• Simulation using real historical data

• Identify Risk & business drivers
