Posit's unique approach to creating universal data processing capabilities is helping to create new pathways in the digital age. It uses a unique blend of social and commercial endeavours to satisfy the demand for comprehensive data processing, and many of the company's products, including Posit Team for enterprises, are open sourced and accessible to all.
