"De facto, R is already a significant component of Pfizer core technology. Access to a supported version of R will allow us to keep pace with the growing use of R in the organization, and provides a path forward to use of R in regulated applications."

"After several years of data collection, crunching those numbers requires the use of a tremendous amount of memory at once. For that I use R Enterprise for 64-bit Windows. There are no limits on the amount of memory available. Prior to Revolution’s software development of R Enterprise for Windows, the …

"[Revolution DeployR provides] a web service that is platform independent, easy-to-use and a standard for integration."

"Northern Trust went to Revolution Analytics and asked if we could explore the opportunity to parallelize our Monte Carlo simulations."

"We began observing how much more quickly the open‐source community (in R and Python, specifically) was outpacing the analytical capacity of our commercial vendors. In an information and idea driven business, in which proprietary analytics are absolutely critical, we can’t afford to wait for commercial vendors to play catch‐up."

"What takes a day to do in Excel can be done in 15 minutes by writing a few lines of R code in Revolution R Enterprise."

"At the end of the day, our job isn’t about the programming and it isn’t about the system. It’s about getting the work done. I’m all in favor of the solution that lets me get the work done quickly and easily. We’ve been able to do something that we can’t …

"We use R for adaptive designs frequently because it’s the fastest tool to explore designs that interest us. Off-the-shelf software, gives you off-the-shelf options. Those are a good first order approximation, but if you really want to nail down a design, R is going to be the fastest way to …

"Once you know what is driving your marketing, you can better direct what treatments you are using for specific people."

"We see a lot of potential in Revolution’s big data package. In the past, people would say that R couldn’t handle big data. That was the number one excuse for not using R. Well, now R can handle big data because Revolution is tackling the problem."

"Revolution R is faster than regular R. The faster we can analyze data, the less time it takes us to build our diagnostic algorithms."

"There is so much information out there that can make a quant’s life difficult. Revolution R Enterprise just works. It's like using standard R, but lets me use all 32GB of memory on my 64-bit Windows system. Without OneTick Database integrated with Revolution R, I simply could not do the …

“Sure there are other programming user groups in the quant finance world, but the community is certainly not like something I’ve ever seen in terms of just the amount of people. There’s a real collective sense of ownership for this thing. Because in the end, the data community does write …

"I use [Revolution R Enterprise] for building prototypes because it’s fast and easy to make adjustments. I can build the prototype and just let it run, because it’s very fast!"

"We find two advantages to the Revolution Analytics and IBM framework: minimization of data transfer by moving the function to the data as well as the computation speedups associated with distribution of an embarrassingly parallel problem."
