Now a cloud platform for predictive and statistical analytics

Dec. 26, 2012 - PRLog -- When did you use a cloud based software last time? Probably just a few minutes ago. Dropbox, Evernote, Gmail - each of these are successful examples of what cloud computing can do for us. However, one industry which has remain mired with traditional computing paradigm is statistical analytics.

According to a recent McKinsey research, there is a going to be a huge shortage of data scientists and analysts. Unfortunately for the talented analysts and data scientists, small and medium analytics service providers - dependence on expensive, proprietary software packages and costly hardware has been rather frustrating, which compounds the problem. Several business analysts and researchers can not afford skyrocketing costs of statistical analysis software and servers but are forced to spend heavily on these due to lack of a cloud alternative. GingerBrain, a data science startup has chosen to address this problem head-on with its innovative software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering for predictive and statistical analytics.

"GingerBrain's predictive and statistical analytics software runs entirely in cloud and has native support for big data" - says Aman Khurana, a senior company executive. It allows the analysts to collaborate online by sharing the data analysis live in cloud. Soon, analysts will have an option to choose between modern, cloud-based software vs. legacy, monolithic statistical analysis packages. According to Aman Khurana - "GingerBrain is doing to statistical and predictive analytics what Salesforce did to CRM, that is NO software/hardware required to get started with the cutting edge analytics". Seems some interesting times ahead for analytics software industry!
