Agilent Technologies and Spotfire today announced that Agilent has licensed Spotfire's DecisionSite analytic application platform, which will be used in Agilent's informatics solutions to assist scientists in the areas of disease and drug discovery.
"Spotfire is helping us to develop complementary solutions that will give scientists across organizations the ability to rapidly and accurately synthesize information from a variety of scientific data sources," said Chris van Ingen, senior vice president of Agilent's Life Sciences and Chemical Analysis business.
"We selected DecisionSite for its open architecture and its programmability, as well as its support for IT standards.
Spotfire's analytic applications are easily configured and easy to support -- exactly what we look for in choosing a preferred technology partner." Spotfire's DecisionSite platform allows independent software vendors and partners to configure and add knowledge and value to Spotfire's analytic applications.
DecisionSite's dynamic user environment, open architecture and application programming interfaces (APIs) make it easy for partners such as Agilent to develop and support independent analytic solutions. Spotfire DecisionSite allows product developers, scientists and researchers to test hypotheses based on millions of datapoints. More than 10,000 chemists and biologists use Spotfire DecisionSite at all major pharmaceutical and biotech companies throughout the world.
In addition, Spotfire DecisionSite is used in industries where high-stakes decisions are required to rapidly develop and deliver research-intensive products, in companies such as Anadarko, Texas Instruments, Proctor and Gamble and ChevronTexaco.
"Agilent has a long-standing position as a leading global supplier to life sciences," said Rock Gnatovich, president of Spotfire "We are thrilled to have Agilent recognize Spotfire's position as the leading analytics vendor to the life sciences by selecting Spotfire's DecisionSite analytic platform to be included in Agilent's informatics solutions."
