Product Details

What is Posit?

Posit, formerly RStudio, provides a modular data science platform that combines open-source and commercial products.

their open source offerings, such as the RStudio IDE, Shiny Server, rmarkdown and the many packages in the tidyverse, boast users among data scientists around the world to enhance the production and consumption of knowledge by everyone, regardless of economic means.

Their commercial software products, including Posit Workbench, Posit Connect, and Posit Package Manager, are available as a bundle in Posit Team. These products aim to give organizations the confidence to adopt R, Python and other open-source data science software at scale. This enables data science teams using R and Python to deliver interactive reports and applications to decision-makers, leverage large amounts of data, integrate with existing enterprise systems, platforms, and processes, and be compliant with security practices and standards.

The platform is complemented by online services, including Posit Cloud and shinyapps.io, to make it easier to do, teach and learn data science, and share data science insights with others, over the web.

Posit’s open-source software and commercial software form what the vendor describes as a virtuous cycle: The adoption of open-source data science software at scale in organizations creates demand for Posit’s commercial software; and the revenue from commercial software, in turn, enables deeper investment in the open-source software that benefits everyone.
