In a data-driven world, having reliable and accessible software is key to optimizing functionality. Posit provides R and Python-based tools to help improve the speed and quality of analysis, created "for data scientists by data scientists", with uses in data science, scientific research, and technical communication.
Posit's unique approach to creating universal data processing capabilities is helping to create new pathways in the digital age. It uses a unique blend of social and commercial endeavours to satisfy the demand for comprehensive data processing, and many of the company's products, including Posit Team for enterprises, are open sourced and accessible to all.
