Predixion Software Announces Full Functional Integration of Open Source R into its Advanced Predictive Analytics Platform

Wednesday 12 February 2014
New Release of Predixion Insight Enables the R Community to Quickly and Easily Develop and Deploy Consumable Predictive Analytics Applications

SANTA CLARA, Calif.--()--Predixion Software, a developer of collaborative predictive analytics software solutions, today announced the release of Predixion Insight™ 3.2, a groundbreaking solution that combines the sophisticated capabilities of the R programming language with advanced, easy-to-use functionality for creating and deploying predictive analytics to improve business outcomes. With more than two million users, the open source R language is the defacto standard for computational statistics and predictive analytics, but can be inaccessible to those without advanced programming skills. Predixion Insight™ 3.2 removes that barrier by making it simple for business users to leverage R to build predictive models in a wizard-driven environment, create unique data visualizations, provide real-time collaboration and use in-process deployment to push the latest predictive analytics insights to users and devices on the front lines of business.
“Unlike legacy solutions such as SAS or SPSS that offer a crude paste-on approach to R capabilities, Predixion Insight 3.2 puts users on the cutting edge of predictive analytics with a fully functional and easy to use R integration”
"Predixion Insight™ 3.2 is a significant milestone in our mission to simplify and expand the adoption of predictive analytics," said Jamie MacLennan, CTO, Predixion Software. "This release eliminates the 'gotchas' that prevent many people from using R, such as tricky data transformations required to feed information into R algorithms. We have made it so simple that Predixion users don't even have to know they are using R, and can prepare and manage their data as it makes sense to them from a business perspective."
Combining innovation and reliability
The new release of Predixion's flagship products combines the open source innovations of R algorithms, which have been peer reviewed by thousands of developers, with the reliability and ease of Predixion's Machine Learning Semantic Model™ (MLSM™) that automates data access and transformations so portable end-to-end predictive applications can be easily developed and implemented. It empowers business users to work within an intuitive wizard-driven environment to create sophisticated industry and process-specific predictive analytics models that can unlock insights from any data source.
"Unlike legacy solutions such as SAS or SPSS that offer a crude paste-on approach to R capabilities, Predixion Insight 3.2 puts users on the cutting edge of predictive analytics with a fully functional and easy to use R integration," said Simon Arkell, CEO, Predixion Software. "This is a game changer for organizations that need to quickly and easily get up to speed on the latest and greatest predictive analytics capabilities."
Extending the analytics value chain and driving business outcomes
The integration of R in Predixion’s software solutions is expected to support Accenture, a Predixion alliance partner, in helping its clients drive business results with advanced analytics. Predixion’s expanded platform will contribute to Accenture Analytics’ ongoing efforts to build an ecosystem of best-of-breed emerging technologies that cover the full analytics and big data value chain for its clients.
“Competing in a digital world requires businesses to leverage solutions that put advanced analytics in the hands of business users, are easy to use, and don’t require a multitude of very specialized data scientists,” said Michael Svilar, managing director, Accenture Analytics, part of Accenture Digital. “Predixion’s latest move will help fill the gap for an advanced analytics platform that fully leverages and integrates the power, flexibility and innovation of R. We’re excited to put Predixion’s expanded platform into an industry and functional context to help clients drive business outcomes and tangible returns from their analytics investment.”
Predixion Software is currently attending the O'Reilly Strata Conference in Santa Clara, CA and can be located at booth #1206.
