StatSoft is the original developer of Statistica. Dell acquired it in March 2014.[1] Statistica is an advanced analytics software portfolio that provides enterprise and desktop software for statistics, data analysis, data management, data visualization, data mining (also called predictive analytics), and quality control.

With the release of Statistica 9 in May 2009, both 32-bit and 64-bit native versions became available.[3] Its current product suite, Statistica 12, was released in May 2013.[4] The software runs on Microsoft Windows. Statistica is used worldwide at major corporations, government agencies, and universities.
On March 24, 2014, StatSoft was acquired by Dell in an effort to bolster Dell's ‘big data’ offering.[1] It has offices in 24 countries including Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, and the United Kingdom.
