Step up your R capabilities with new tools for increased productivity. I guess a lot of us actually use many tools to accomplish various things in their everyday life. There is the (not that uncommon) case where you have to build something that others will use in their everyday business life to get insights, information and/or take decisions. The basic implementation scenario here would be to build an excel workbook where you will feed the data and have a overview sheet, named Dashboard…If things are on your side you could set-up a connection to a database (an existing one or one you will create for the data in discussion) and pull data from there. You can build powerful and visually elegant things using this approach. A cool resource to generate tears of joy among colleagues is Chandoo.org. OK, we all love R. But what about interactive results? Unfortunately you will soon realize that building a highly interactive dashboard has limited added value for complex questions, like the ones that predictive analytics would bomb at your inbox.

Revolution Analytics has definitely bridged this gap technically beautifully and I quote from their documentation- The primary advantage 64-bit architectures bring to R is an increase in the amount of memory available to a given R process.The first benefit of that increase is an increase in the size of data objects you can create. 2) The User Interface is best shown as below or at -(but I am still hoping for the GUI ,Revolution Analytics promised us for Christmas) 3) The partnership with Microsoft HPC is quite awesome given Microsoft’s track record in enterprise software penetration.
