      <title>Recap from Quality Expo 2009 </title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img alt="" align="left" width="250" height="91" src="/Portals/0/blog/Quality Expo2.jpg" /&gt; StatSoft participated in the Quality Expo conference in Chicago, IL earlier this month. There were 4 trends from the discussions we had with conference attendees:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. More than ever, companies are ready to move beyond "desktop" software for quality and Six Sigma analytics.  There was a great buzz around the &lt;em&gt;&lt;a target="_blank" linktype="link" track="on" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=gqcnbadab.0.0.xe598ubab.0&amp;ts=S0410&amp;p=http%3A%2F%2Fstatsoft.com%2Fproducts%2Fstatistica-enterprise-qc%2F&amp;id=preview"&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;STATISTICA Enterprise/QC&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; software platform for enabling analysts, engineers, and quality professionals, to take the integration of quality methods and Six Sigma into the organization.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2.  Attendees are thinking about extending their current quality tools with &lt;a target="_blank" linktype="link" track="on" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=gqcnbadab.0.0.xe598ubab.0&amp;ts=S0410&amp;p=http%3A%2F%2Fstatsoft.com%2Fproducts%2Fstatistica-multivariate-spc%2F&amp;id=preview"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;Multivariate Quality Control (MQC) and Multivariate Statistical Process Control (MSPC)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, augmenting what they are doing now with univariate Quality Control.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. &lt;a target="_blank" linktype="link" track="on" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=gqcnbadab.0.0.xe598ubab.0&amp;ts=S0410&amp;p=http%3A%2F%2Fstatsoft.com%2Fproducts%2Fstatistica-monitoring-and-alerting-server%2F&amp;id=preview"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;STATISTICA Monitoring &amp; Alerting Server (MAS)&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;: Companies are very interested in ways to automate the monitoring of unlimited processes and parameters with convenient, configurable Web-based Dashboard summaries.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. &lt;a target="_blank" linktype="link" track="on" href="http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?t=gqcnbadab.0.0.xe598ubab.0&amp;ts=S0410&amp;p=http%3A%2F%2Fstatsoft.com%2Fproducts%2Fstatistica-process-optimization%2F&amp;id=preview"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color="#0000ff"&gt;STATISTICA Process Optimization&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;:  Companies have an abundance of historical data to use to model processes to determine root causes and relationships, optimize process parameters to meet and exceed specifications, and deploy the models for ongoing process monitoring.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;a href=http://statsoft.com/support/blog/entryid/84/recap-from-quality-expo-2009/&gt;More...&lt;/a&gt;</description>
