Oracle Crystal Ball Classroom - Faculty Edition

Supercharge Your Simulations with Decision Optimizer (OptQuest)
Find the Best Path Forward—Automatically
 
Decision Optimizer is the advanced optimization engine for Oracle Crystal Ball, designed to tackle complex problems by combining Monte Carlo simulation with intelligent search algorithms. It automatically identifies the optimal set of decisions that meet your objectives—whether you're maximizing profit, minimizing risk, or balancing trade-offs.
 
Using powerful heuristics like neural networks, tabu search, and scatter search, OptQuest runs thousands of simulations behind the scenes to uncover high-performance solutions—all while respecting your real-world constraints.
