Insightful Corporation (NASDAQ:IFUL), a leading provider of predictive analytics and reporting solutions, announced today that S-PLUS(R) 7, Insightful's software platform for statistical data analysis and predictive analytics, has been designated as a KMWorld Trend Setting Product of 2006.

"KMWorld's panel of editorial colleagues, analysts and users were impressed with how easily S-PLUS can be deployed to read, manipulate, and analyze unlimited amounts of data to users who do not have special expertise in statistical methods," said Hugh McKellar, KMWorld editor in chief. "S-PLUS 7 delivers by putting the power of predictive analytics into the hands of business users. We are pleased to again recognize Insightful." This marks the second consecutive year that KMWorld has honored Insightful's products. InFact(R) 3.0, a breakthrough application for text analysis and relationship search, was named a KMWorld Trend Setting Product in 2005. Designed with an open architecture and flexible interfaces, S-PLUS 7 provides the scalability to handle gigabyte-size data sets and the flexibility needed to integrate advanced analytics into everyday business processes. With S-PLUS 7, statisticians and developers can quickly develop prototypes and deliver targeted applications that automate analytical processes and enable non-statisticians to conduct their own analyses. "S-PLUS 7 is a major milestone for Insightful. Now our flagship product, one of the industry standards on the desktop for predictive analytics and statistics, effectively scales to large data sets and large multiples of users," said Jeff Coombs, CEO of Insightful.
