“At HP, our data science teams are constantly challenged to deliver insights and applications at scale, while navigating the complexities of cloud infrastructure, collaboration, and deployment. The Posit suite—comprising Workbench, Connect, and Package Manager—has been a transformative addition to our analytics ecosystem, especially when paired with Databricks.
What sets Posit apart is its focus on enabling rapid development and deployment. While Databricks remains our backbone for data engineering and scalable compute, Posit fills a critical gap by offering a seamless, cloud-based IDE experience for R and Python. This allows our teams to prototype, iterate, and publish data products—like Shiny dashboards and APIs—without waiting on platform engineering. In fact, some of our best data scientists estimate that Posit Workbench has improved their productivity by 20%.
The integration between Posit and Databricks has been particularly valuable. We’ve successfully used Posit Connect to pin and retrieve models from Databricks, enabling real-time applications like market share simulations. This interoperability ensures that our workflows remain fluid, without duplicating infrastructure or compromising on performance.
Beyond the technical benefits, Posit has helped us foster a more collaborative and transparent data science culture. With centralized publishing, version control, and enterprise-grade security, our teams can share insights more effectively and maintain compliance with internal standards.
As we continue to scale our experimentation and marketing analytics platforms, Posit has proven to be more than just a tool—it’s a strategic enabler. It empowers our data scientists to move fast, stay aligned, and deliver measurable impact.”
