Det Norske Veritas (DNV) offers a wide range of services to clients within the maritime, offshore, and onshore power sectors. These services can include investments and decision analysis, and for many years, DNV has used Palisade's @RISK for these analyses. In order to further develop our skills, DNV hired Palisade for a three-day expert course in the DecisionsTools Suite (DTS). DNV found the course very useful, as [the instructor] had a deep knowledge of Palisade products, a wide range of practical tutorials, and also personal experience in using DTS to solve investments and decisions analysis for clients. The course was tailored throughout based on our needs and actual cases.

I took the live webex class "Project Risk Assessment using @RISK." It was excellent. The instructor provided both the theoretical and practical foundations for understanding how to measure project schedule and cost risks, and then how to optimize. I am already making great use of @RISK's project risk extensive capabilities with my federal government client. @RISK's outputs addresses both technical and executive client leaderships.
A very key feature of the course is the recording. I have referred to it several times to precisely guide me through the steps of project risk analysis. I don't think I could be as proficient as I now am without having the recording to refer back to.
