Case Study: Posit improves R database connectivity with insightsoftware's Simba drivers

Posit launches Professional Drivers in late 2017 with insightsoftware

Posit (formerly RStudio), a developer of open-source and enterprise-ready software for the R statistical computing environment, sought to drive greater adoption of R within large enterprises by solving the challenge of data access. Their goal was to empower data scientists by making it easier to connect R to various databases and data sources. To meet this need, they partnered with insightsoftware and utilized its Simba ODBC drivers.

insightsoftware implemented its market-leading Simba ODBC drivers, working collaboratively with Posit to integrate them into Posit's flagship offerings. This integration provided R users with a comprehensive suite of tools for accessing and analyzing data within their enterprise systems. As a result, Posit successfully released its Professional Drivers, which garnered significant positive feedback from the R community for solving an important need and standardizing connectivity. insightsoftware's partnership and technical assistance were critical to achieving this enterprise milestone.
