Austin, TX and Tulsa, OK -- StatSoft, Inc., a leading provider of data analysis software and Data Junction Corporation, a market leader in data integration solutions, recently announced an agreement to leverage their respective technologies for meeting the unique data collection and analysis needs of mutual customers. Under the terms of the agreement, Data Junction Corporation will develop a native data interface for STATISTICA, investing users with the power to convert data to and from hundreds of structured data formats.

"Our customers are looking for a powerful and reliable method for moving data across multiple platforms and formats into STATISTICA for analysis," said Win Noren, StatSoft’s manager of Technical Services. "We have always been dedicated to developing the most customizable, versatile and powerful statistical data analysis software in the industry. Our agreement with Data Junction is another move in that direction – STATISTICA users will have access to the full compliment of data formats supported by Data Junction."

Said Mike Hoskins, President of Data Junction, "STATISTICA and Data Junction are the biggest names in their fields. Both companies have established themselves as industry standards for power and flexibility. These two products combined comprise the most robust data collection and analysis tool set available."

STATISTICA is a comprehensive statistical analysis, graphics, database management, and custom application development system, featuring a wide selection of basic and advanced analytic procedures for science, engineering, and business applications. In addition to STATISTICA, StatSoft offers Quick STATISTICA, a subset of the main program, and STATISTICA Industrial System, a set of add-on modules that feature the largest selection of industrial statistics available in a single package. StatSoft recently introduced two highly-anticipated new products including STATISTICA Neural Networks, a comprehensive and unique neural networks package, and the STATISTICA Connectivity Kit, a means for direct data acquisition from industry hardware collection devices such as real-time monitoring systems, measurement devices, data collectors, or laboratory equipment.

Data Junction is a visual design tool for rapidly building and testing data conversions between hundreds of structured data formats. Combining the ease of an advanced GUI with a powerful conversion engine, Data Junction simplifies integration between disparate database systems and allows users to rapidly migrate precious data between applications. In addition to Data Junction, DJCorp offers DJEngine, a programmable, embeddable engine for executing conversions designed with Data Junction. Users have the option of utilizing an API for integration with other programs or a command line interface. DJEngine's scalability and easy integration make it perfect for embedding in applications as well as for implementing data warehouses, data marts and various data migration and replication strategies throughout the enterprise.
