Dear Friends,

As you may be aware, I've been talking for some time about the need for enterprise-caliber support and services for R, the impressive open-source statistical software system produced by the volunteers of the R Project. Consequently, I am pleased to announce the immediate availability of the RStat Statistical Software System from Random Technologies, LLC.

RStat couples the tremendous functionality and flexibility of the R statistical software system with enterprise-level validation, documentation, software support, and consulting services from Random Technologies. This combination provides the ideal union of open-source and commercial software, yielding a best-in-class statistical data analysis, visualization, and computing system that can be deployed in mission critical and regulated environments.

RStat is available in several versions for a range of needs:

• RStat Personal - Personal and educational use on a single computer, includes installation support
• RStat Professional- Professional use on a single workstation, includes full installation and usage technical support
