New Translations Broaden Reach of Palisade Software

Marketing-Leading Analytics Package DecisionTools Suite from Palisade Now Available in Five New Languages

5 March 2010: Ithaca, NY. In a major step forward for decision-making and risk analysis in international businesses, Palisade Corporation has released its popular DecisonTools Suite software in five foreign languages: Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Japanese. Having just celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary as a leader in decision support and risk analytics, Palisade is the only developer to offer comprehensively translated software tools for quantitative analysis in these important languages. The suite of add-in software for Microsoft Excel has been growing in popularity in response to the economic crisis of the past two years. The DecisionTools Suite is currently used by professionals for forecasting, strategic planning, and managing operations in industries that range from energy to finance to manufacturing.

Palisade’s new release of the DecisionTools Suite, version 5.5.1, makes its seven quantitative analysis tools accessible to businesses on a worldwide basis, those operating globally as well as nationally. The tools – @RISK, PrecisionTree, TopRank, NeuralTools, StatTools, Evolver and RISKOptimizer - have been translated in all their features and functions throughout.

DecisionTools Suite 5.5.1 is the result of an extensive corporate effort to respond to its rapidly growing customer bases in countries where English is not the native language. “We have customers from literally all over the world waiting for this release,” said Palisade’s vice president for marketing, Randy Heffernan, “and the people who have previewed the translations are very excited about being able to create analyses and do simulations in their own languages.”

In addition to translations, the new version of the DecisionTools Suite offers a new feature that allows users to launch any of the tools from within a tool that’s up and running.

New Tools with New Features
Each of the DecisionTools offers new features and functionality to make it faster and easier to use. For details on these see “What’s New in DecisionTools 5.5.1.” For general descriptions of the tools and how to use them, go to the Palisade Corporation website: www.palisade.com.
