Move data science off the laptop

Local development traps code and models in silos, limits compute power, and forces sensitive data onto unmanaged hard drives. Posit Workbench centralizes Python, R, and AI Agent assisted data science development. Data scientists and AI practitioners get immediate data access and flexibility they need with on-demand access to Positron, RStudio, VS Code and Jupyter (with integrated AI assistants) while IT maintains strict governance over data, credentials, and compute resources.

Why Workbench is worth switching to

Customer Stories

Pinterest

Pinterest’s People Analytics team transformed their workflow by deploying Posit Workbench natively within Snowflake, allowing them to analyze thousands of employee comments without ever moving sensitive data. This seamless integration has eliminated infrastructure headaches for IT while empowering analysts to perform sophisticated statistical modeling and NLP at scale.

TruDiagnostic

TruDiagnostic faced an infrastructure challenge, managing the world's largest epigenetic dataset with fragmented tools. By adopting Posit Workbench with Amazon SageMaker, they empowered their scientists to control their computational resources with greater efficiency, unifying their R and Python environments. This transformation saved them a full year of product development time, cut their cloud infrastructure costs by 60%, and increased both their AI and statistical model training performance tenfold.

HP

HP has transformed its marketing and experimentation analytics by integrating Posit Team with its Databricks backbone, resulting in a 20% productivity boost for its data science teams. This powerful combination allows HP researchers to bypass platform engineering bottlenecks, rapidly publishing real-time market share simulations and interactive Shiny dashboards across 170 countries.

Authentication

Sanction open source without losing control

Your data teams are going to use R and Python. If you don't give them a professional environment, they’ll build their own setups on local laptops or unmanaged servers. Posit Workbench lets you bring these workflows into the light. It integrates directly with your existing identity provider so you can manage access, monitor usage, and offboard users just like any other enterprise application.

USAGE & OBSERVABILITY

Your data science ROI is too important to guess

High-performance compute is expensive, yet most organizations treat it like a black box. You see the infrastructure costs, but you can’t see the activity driving them. Posit Workbench changes that by capturing granular audit logs of every session, including who is working, which tools they’re using, and how much CPU and RAM they’ve allocated. Whether you’re optimizing your cloud budget or meeting compliance requirements, you finally have the data to prove exactly how your resources are being used.

DATA CONNECTIVITY

Secure, governed data access that just works

Connecting a local laptop to an enterprise data warehouse usually requires a manual hunt for insecure, long-lived access tokens, arbitrary R or Python packages, or ODBC drivers and a complex local configuration that breaks whenever something is updated. Posit Workbench includes immediate access to your existing data governance tools via secure, short-lived OAuth authorization tokens and commercially supported drivers for Snowflake, Databricks, and other major sources that IT can pre-install and manage on the server.

RELIABILITY & SUPPORT

Maintain uptime and get expert help when you need it

If you’ve read this far, you know that data science is too important to treat like a back-office experiment. When your server goes down, your business stops making data-driven decisions. Posit Workbench supports High Availability (HA) so if one server node fails, the work doesn’t have to stop. And when you need expert support, you get a direct line to our professional team to help diagnose and troubleshoot.
