Enterprise Overview

Statistica Enterprise is the platform to deploy analytic applications for use in multi-user, database-centered environments for general business applications (i.e., for manufacturing and Six Sigma applications, see description of Statistica Enterprise/QC below). Any of the wealth of Statistica's graphical, data analysis, and data mining approaches are available for use within Statistica Enterprise.

Statistica Enterprise/QC is the platform to deploy analytic applications for use in multi-user, database-centered environments for manufacturing and Six Sigma applications where automation and reporting of Quality Control, Process Capability, on-line process monitoring, Multivariate Quality Control, and\or Multivariate Statistical Process Control are needed.

Statistica Enterprise Compliance Edition is specifically geared for applications in regulated industries such as Pharmaceuticals and Medical Devices. For example, in addition to all of the standard features of Statistica Enterprise/QC, the Compliance Edition includes integrated versioning and history of Statistica configurations.

At the highest level, the following are the major functional pieces of the Statistica Enterprise system:

Connections to Data Repositories. Statistica Enterprise is configured within your organization to recognize the relevant data repositories that store the data of interest for mining, analysis, and visualization (see Database Connections and Data Configuration).

• Analysis Templates. Statistica Enterprise stores definitions of analysis templates that can be manually or automatically initiated. These templates are either "hardcoded" with all of the analysis parameters specified in the template, or can be "parameterized" to allow the user of the template to select which data and specific analyses are of interest (see Analysis Configuration).
• Interactive Filtering. Statistica Enterprise provides a robust set of filtering capabilities to hide the complexities of the data structures and Structured Query Language (SQL). Instead, you are presented with an easy-to-use menu of values (e.g., product name, date/time range) from which you can select to determine the data of immediate interest (see SQL Criteria).
• Reports. Statistica Enterprise provides customizable report templates to define the page layout and format for reports that will be produced on a regular basis. Also included is a scheduling application to manage the automation of the production of these reports at specified time intervals (see Reports).
• Security and Permissions. In a multi-user software application, treating everyone the same is not appropriate. Roles and responsibilities within an organization differ from individual to individual. StatisticaEnterprise stores account information about what the user should be able to view, modify, and perform while utilizing the system. One major contributor to the system's ease-of-use is that users do not see features and reports that are irrelevant to them (see User Administration).

The Statistica Enterprise system provides the analysis companion to data repositories, utilizing the above categories of capabilities. As an off-the-shelf software system, Statistica provides general objects that are configured through its administration user interfaces.
