Is your company data rich but analysis poor? Is your company's important
data collected, stored and analyzed by various departments using different
tools that are not compatible? You may have noticed that little or no
organization of this important data often results in time consuming and
repetitive work.
Many of our customers have been implementing our integrated data collection
and analysis systems: STATISTICA Enterprise-wide SPC System, SEWSS, and
STATISTICA Enterprise-wide System, SENS. The result? Incredible savings
of money, time and resources.
**STATISTICA Enterprise-wide SPC System - Real-time Quality Control System
for the Enterprise**
**STATISTICA Enterprise-wide System - The Ultimate Tool for Business
Intelligence/Data Mining**
Perhaps most importantly, SEWSS and SENS are both easy-to-use so even those
who have little technical skills can follow the simplified user interfaces.
SEWSS and SENS can be used by people without advanced knowledge, for
example, of corporate databases.
In addition, SENS and SEWSS are off-the-shelf products that will be automatically upgraded and updated as computer technology changes, so they
will always be cutting-edge and take advantage of the newest trends in the
software industry.

II. How Companies Are Using SEWSS And Saving $
STATISTICA Enterprise-wide SPC System, SEWSS, monitors industrial processes
in real-time and sends data to a central warehouse where it is
automatically analyzed so problems can be easily detected and solved much
earlier in a production process. For example, a nail factory can set up an
automatic alarm that pages the supervisor when production processes go out
of control (i.e., nails are too thick or long). The problem can
immediately be solved without the supervisor leaving his/her computer. The
data warehouse along with all related queries and reports can also be
easily be accessed and shared by factory management, engineers and
shop-floor staff (depending on their assigned permissions). This
enterprise-wide knowledge-sharing creates a more productive and efficient
work environment. For more information about how your company can save
money, time, and resources with SEWSS go to:
System Integration and don't forget to view
the interactive SEWSS movie!
Using STATISTICA Enterprise-wide System, SENS, colleagues can work
collaboratively on data analysis projects and easily exchange results of
their work. This innovative business intelligence tool offers powerful
options to query, explore and mine databases and perform automatic or
interactive analyses. It can incorporate existing data warehouses or ERP
(Enterprise Resource Planning) software systems like those offered by
Oracle, SAP and others. SENS is particularly useful for companies who are
finding that the lack of sophistication of data collection/analysis tools
and the lack of integration of work between departments are more costly
problems than they thought. For more information about how your company
can save money, time, and resources with SENS go to:

STATISTICA has once again received positive recognition from its users and the highest ranking over its competition. In the recent 2000 Bonus Issue of Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities, STATISTICA was awarded two 1999 Reader's Choice Awards (more details below).
**STATISTICA is the Top Ranked Statistics Package in the
"Statistical Analysis Software" Category of a Reader Survey
by Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities (2000 Bonus Issue)**
STATISTICA has received a Reader's Choice Award and the highest ranking among statistics software packages ("Finalist") in the "Statistical Analysis Software" category in a Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities' reader survey. STATISTICA was trailed by SPSS ("Semi-finalist"), and SAS, Minitab, and S-Plus ( "Honorable Mentions"). The fact that StatSoft products have never been advertised in this publication, so readers know STATISTICA only from other sources, makes this award especially flattering.
**STATISTICA Receives Top Rank Among Statistics Packages
in the "AI Software (Expert, Neural)" Category of a Reader Survey
by Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities (2000 Bonus Issue)**
STATISTICA has received the Reader's Choice Award and the highest ranking among statistics software packages ("Finalist") in the "AI Software (Expert, Neural)" category in a Technical Analysis of Stocks and Commodities' reader survey.

VII. FAQ and Tech Tips
QUESTION: When launching STATISTICA under Windows NT, I get a "cannot run XX-bit application" message.
ANSWER: This problem may occur when a program attempts to access an incorrect version, outdated, missing, or damaged DLL file. Expand the following files from the original Windows NT compact disc to the
QUESTION: When creating a categorized scatterplot how do I change my axis from linear scales to logrithmic scales?
ANSWER: Right click in background and choose change general layout. Now under the Scales section, change Type: to logarithmic. Do this both for your X axis and Y Left axis. (To do this you highlight X and then Y Left under the word Scales.)
QUESTION: Is it possible to perform a scatterplot of two variables with the sizes of the actual symbols (i.e. size of the point markers on the scatterplot) scaled relative to the size of a third variable. In regression work, I would like to have a plot of standardized residuals vs
leverage, with the size of the plotted symbols scaled to reflect the size of the cook's
distance.
ANSWER: Make sure cook's distance is a variable in your datafile. Set the cook's distance variable as your weight variable. Now do a 2D scatterplot and change the graph type to Frequency.
