Dell today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Leaders” quadrant of the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Advanced Analytics Platforms (February 2016).[i]
Gartner Magic Quadrants assess vendors on their ability to execute and the completeness of their vision. Gartner states, “Leaders are vendors with a strong track record in the market. They are also likely to influence the market’s growth and direction. Leaders are suitable vendors for most organisations to evaluate. They should not be the only vendors evaluated, but at least two are likely to be included in the typical shortlist of five to eight vendors.”
With a 30-year track record, and millions of users worldwide ranging from experienced statisticians to citizen data scientists, Dell Statistica delivers a full range of data blending, data discovery, and advanced and predictive analytics tools such as machine learning and artificial intelligence. It enables organisations to tap into all data types to predict future trends, optimise business and manufacturing processes, identify new customers and sales opportunities, explore “what-if” scenarios, and reduce the occurrence of fraud and other business risks.
Statistica is an easy-to-use solution that requires no coding and integrates seamlessly with R. It helps simplify the process by which organisations deploy predictive models directly to data sources at the edge, inside the firewall, in the cloud, and in partner ecosystems.

Thompson, general manager, Dell Statistica. “Modern advanced analytics capabilities, such as the ones delivered in Dell Statistica, help companies uncover valuable insight into future trends, and enable the optimisation and validation of critical business and manufacturing processes.
