SAN JOSE, Calif.--(Business Wire)--
Systat Software, Inc., a leading developer and supplier of
award-winning scientific software products and services, today
released SigmaPlot 11(R), the most advanced scientific graphing and
data analysis software available. Used by more than 250,000
scientists, researchers and engineers across a wide spectrum of
disciplines for data and statistical analysis, SigmaPlot allows its
users to present their data using exact, publication-quality graphs.

SigmaPlot 11 now offers a full range of easy-to-use statistical
functions in addition to graphing templates and utilities with
improved features for accurate and fast data analysis for
non-statisticians. Unlike other analysis and graphing packages,
spreadsheets or business graphing products, SigmaPlot 11 offers
complete advisory statistical analysis features along with a full
range of graphing templates and utilities for unmatched data accuracy,
speed, data analysis and presentation. SigmaPlot is known for its
flexibility to customize any object on a graph to meet the exacting
requirements of the scientific community.

"I've owned and used SigmaPlot for more than a decade and I love
it," said Carmen Cuffari, a pediatric gastroenterologist from
Baltimore. "We do both clinical and pharmacological research and
SigmaPlot enables us to analyze and sort through large amounts of data
to create and publish graphs that can be transposed to manuscripts and
directly submitted to publications -- the product is that user
friendly and great! I can't wait to upgrade to SigmaPlot 11."

With this latest release, Systat is delivering to its customers
significant new enhancements designed to increase ease-of-use,
streamline graphing processes, support statistical analysis and
improve the quality of the graphs. Key features and highlights of
SigmaPlot 11 include:

-- New User Interface - SigmaPlot 11 users can now enjoy an

compatibility for Microsoft Office 2007.
