R/Python Training
Thanks so much to Ben Francis for presenting on R and Python this week. Ben did a great job of highlight where open source solutions such as R and Python are effective and how to position JMP. Some of the key takeaways:
- SME is often not the R or Python coder. "Dear Management: Do you want your people to be coders, or do you want them to be people who solve problems?" (mic drop)
- JMP can be seen as a threat to those who are R/Python coders. Move away from gatekeeper (R/Python users) towards enablement (I want to keep my job so therefore R and Python need to stay)
- Cost of software vs cost of people/time
- One of the most critical quality issues in software development, especially for analytical software, is the accuracy and reliability of results. Quality statement vs open source solutions. JMP provides trust and security.
- R and Python are competitors for all of our products (JMP, JMP, Clinical, JMP Live...)
If you happen to miss this session, please refer to the R/Python Training Page where you can view the recording and review key points from the session. To see more information on most of our competitors, please refer to this page. To see what other training is planned, please refer to the training schedule.
