"Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write"
H.G. Wells
"Progress in modifying our concept of control has been and will be comparatively slow ... It requires the application of statistical methods which up to the present time have been for the most part left undisturbed in the journal in which they appeared" W.A. Shewhart
A hundred years later and both Wells and Shewhart have been proved right. However, what they could not predict was how straightforward
it has now become to undertake data analysis and quality control projects by deploying statistics software.
It is unimaginable today to undertake such projects without software solutions. There are a number
of reasons for this:
The huge amount of data available in the modern world has surpassed human cognitive and analytical abilities.
Information Technology has developed fast. As a result, rapid, scalable algorithms, data extraction tools and flexible graph generation procedures are now widely available.
Competition has intensified in industry. Managers, engineers, analysts, scientists and other professionals all require data analysis software, statistical know-how and training to do their jobs properly. This is exactly the service StatSoft delivers to its clients.
