San Jose, CA - Systat Software, Inc., a leading developer and supplier of award-winning scientific software products and services, released SigmaPlot 11, the most advanced scientific graphing and data analysis software available. Used by more than 250,000 scientists, researchers and engineers across a wide spectrum of disciplines for data and statistical analysis, SigmaPlot allows its users to present their data using exact, publication-quality graphs.

SigmaPlot 11 now offers a full range of easy-to-use statistical functions in addition to graphing templates and utilities with improved features for accurate and fast data analysis for non-statisticians. Unlike other analysis and graphing packages, spreadsheets or business graphing products, SigmaPlot 11 offers complete advisory statistical analysis features along with a full range of graphing templates and utilities for unmatched data accuracy, speed, data analysis and presentation. SigmaPlot is known for its flexibility to customize any object on a graph to meet the exacting requirements of the scientific and engineering community.

"I've owned and used SigmaPlot for more than a decade and I love it," said Carmen Cuffari, a pediatric gastroenterologist from Baltimore. "We do both clinical and pharmacological research and SigmaPlot enables us to analyze and sort through large amounts of data to create and publish graphs that can be transposed to manuscripts and directly submitted to publications- the product is that user friendly and great! I can't wait to upgrade to SigmaPlot 11."

With this latest release, Systat is delivering to its customers significant new enhancements designed to increase ease-of-use, streamline graphing processes, support statistical analysis and improve the quality of the graphs.
