Season’s Greetings

As we head into the holiday season, we want to say thank you to all of our loyal clients for making this past year a huge success! In addition to our software, we have worked with clients internationally on a wide range of consulting projects – helping them better understand and manage their risks. We have also seen a sharp increase in ModelRisk sales and continue to make enhancements to the software, see the latest enhancements here.

The general concensus is that there is a lot of uncertainty about what will happen in 2013 and risk is at the forefront of many people’s mind. If you feel you could benefit from an improved risk management strategy, we can help you create, design and implement a sound risk plan. Please contact us if you would like to schedule a free initial consultation on your particular risk analysis needs at info@vosesoftware.com.

Reminder: Final Weeks of Switch Promotion

As a reminder to those of you thinking about switching from your current risk analysis Microsoft Excel add-in to the most comprehensive risk analysis Microsoft Excel add-in on the market (ModelRisk), we are still offering a full 50% trade-up discount. Why continue to pay the maintenance on a software that lacks the full functionality you need and most likely comes with less than stellar customer support?

Wonder if you qualify for this promotion? Simply review the Independent Wikipedia Comparison List and if you can provide proof you are currently using one of these (similarly priced, commercial) software packages, you qualify for the discount!

For more information or to get a quote, contact us at sales@vosesoftware.com – And remember, this offer expires on December 31, 2012 and all purchase orders need to be received before November 30, 2012. This offer applies for network licenses too. However, it does not apply to an academic or student licenses which are already very heavily discounted.

Note: as a user, you don't have to give up your current risk analysis tool. We are confident that once you start working with ModelRisk you won't want to use any other tool anyway.

Correlation Quiz: Who's The Brightest Bulb?

Two weeks ago we talked about correlation in our biweekly email introducing our webcast on the topic. In that email we offered a little competition: the person that could find logical / fun explanations for the following observed correlations would win a training video of their choice.

• 26 percent of people who never took a ride on a motorcycle are multilingual, compared with 40 percent of people in general.
• 15 percent of people who don’t like mayonnaise are good dancers, compared with 29 percent of people in general.
• In general, 33 percent of people say their friends are mostly of the opposite sex. But among those with oily hair, 46 percent say their friends are mostly of the opposite sex.

Robert Wells is, at least until the next quiz, the brightest and most eloquent among you. You can read his explanations here. Robert wins the training video courses of his choice from those available in our Training Suite.

We want to thank everybody for sending us their ideas. We had a lot of fun reading them and some of the explanations were very clever! We hope you participate in future quizzes as well.
