StatPoint Technologies, Inc., a leading developer of statistical tools used in
data analysis across the spectrum of business management, manufacturing and
scientific research, today announced the immediate availability of Statgraphics
Centurion XVI. This new version offers users a powerful, menu-driven statistical
data analysis solution that enables organizations of any size to identify
critical information that will improve operational efficiencies. In support of

Statgraphics Centurion XVI can be applied in every aspect of business
operations, from Six Sigma management protocols to quality control on production
lines to improving shipping department processes. This product release
encompasses significant new and unique features that provide greater ease-of-use
and enhanced power that separate it from the competition. Enhancements to the
roster of statistical procedures, changes to the user interface, refinements to
existing procedures, data handling improvements, and expanded graphic options
are all a part of the new version. Key new features to Statgraphics Centurion
XVI include:
- Design of Experiments (DOE) Wizard assists users in constructing and analyzing
designed experiments. It guides a user through twelve important steps in the
creation and application of the design.
- Real-Time Alerts (StatAlert) are built into the software to alert people
responsible for monitoring an organization`s processes when something starts to
go wrong. Statgraphics Centurion XVI can be set to automatically generate alerts
whenever certain conditions occur. Message boxes, audio alarms, and automatic
e-mail notification are available options.
- Competitive Compatibility (StatImport) enables users to accept data from
programs like Microsoft Office Excel and virtually any other statistical
package. Though every competing statistical package produces some graphical
output, Statgraphics Centurion XVI remains unmatched in this category. With its
StatGallery feature, users can compare multiple data sets or multiple views of
the same data, placing graphs side by side or overlapping - creating unique
displays of their own. With its ability to accept data from other statistical
packages, Statgraphics Centurion XVI can replace less satisfactory graphical
output from other programs.
- Dynamic Graphics enable users to grab 3D plots and rotate them or to see the
effect on surface plots of interactively changing variables in the underlying
statistical model. In addition, there is a zoom & pan feature that allows users
to pan back and forth through large amounts of data.
"Statgraphics is helping our company identify manufacturing improvement
opportunities across all critical area processes," said Les Garcia, Quality
Assurance Manager, Gunze Electronics USA Corporation. "The products ease-of-use
has made statistical process control implementation very straightforward and the
DOE module is an excellent tool. We are very impressed with it from a pricing
standpoint as well as its ability to analyze and present data to all levels of
technical and management staff."
In challenging times it is especially important to identify and exploit every
opportunity for savings, for quality improvement, and for driving efficiencies.
It is more important than ever for companies and organizations to accurately
forecast cash flows and determine where to devote precious time and resources.
They need guidance to reach correct decisions on where to focus product
development to meet the true demands of the marketplace. Statistical analysis of
data is crucial to all such efforts. Statgraphics Centurion XVI provides the
tools necessary to perform these and many other improvement and research
initiatives with ease.
"For many users, the value of Statgraphics Centurion XVI lies in its
uncomplicated structure, the vivid, interpretive visual images created in its
graphical output and its many unique, user-friendly features unavailable in any
other product," said Dr. Neil W. Polhemus, Chief Technology Officer of StatPoint
Technologies. "For others, its clear superiority for Design of Experiments, Six
Sigma, and statistical process control - now including the ability to alert
managers by email whenever a process deviates from the expected range - is

April 26, 2005, Herndon, VA -- Manugistics
Group Inc. (www.manu.com) and StatPoint Inc. (www.statgraphics.com)
announce that they have mutually decided to end their longtime
licensing partnership. With the termination of the partnership,
StatPoint announces the release of two new products: The latest
version of its flagship statistical analysis software product
STATGRAPHICS Centurion XV and the entirely new addition to their
product line, STATGRAPHICS Mobile – the first sophisticated
statistical software available for handheld devices.
Since 1984 Manugistics has managed the sales,
marketing and support of the STATGRAPHICS product, while
StatPoint has been responsible for development of the
statistical software. StatPoint will now be solely responsible
for all aspects of the software products.
Dr. Neil W. Polhemus, the lead developer of the
software and Chief Technology Officer of StatPoint, Inc.,
stated: "StatPoint and Manugistics re-evaluated their
relationship in light of Manugistics’ global focus on supply
chain software, pricing and revenue management software and
solutions. After discussions with Manugistics, we determined
that having StatPoint manage all aspects of the software product
would be in the best interest of the STATGRAPHICS user
community. The name STATGRAPHICS Centurion XV® derives from
both the vastly increased power of the new version and the fact
that there have been 14 previous DOS and Windows versions of
STATGRAPHICS.”
Said Dr. Polhemus, “The release of STATGRAPHICS
Centurion XV gives us an opportunity to better meet the needs of
our clients by bringing the development team closer to sales and
customer support. With the release of STATGRAPHICS Mobile, we
can provide our clients with another valuable tool for use in a
wide variety of settings, including the factory shop floor,
financial trading environments and field locations, providing
instant data analysis and forecasting for professionals who must
perform immediate tasks while away from their desktop or
cumbersome laptop. The continuing, highly sophisticated upgrades
to the flagship product, STATGRAPHICS, and the development of
new, cutting edge, alternative applications designed to meet
today’s advanced business challenges, such as STATGRAPHICS
Mobile, are indicative of StatPoint’s strength and commitment to
the continuity of the Statgraphics brand.”
STATGRAPHICS is a statistical analysis software
package widely used by Fortune 1000 companies worldwide as well
as by countless small enterprises. Its intuitive interface is
ideally suited for users of statistical methods who may not be
professional statisticians. Important uses of the software
include manufacturing quality control, design of experiments for
research and development, and monitoring of social and
environmental statistics. It is used by numerous large producers
of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and consumer goods, as well
as by major universities, hospitals, hotels, and other companies
in the service sector.
StatPoint and Manugistics will continue to work
together where STATGRAPHICS provides value-added solutions for
supply chain clients. The companies express mutual best wishes
for success in their individual business pursuit.
