PRODUCTS

S-PLUS(R)

S-PLUS is our flagship product for statistical data analysis. The software
offers technical professionals a flexible, extensible and productive platform
for data analysis and visualization. S-PLUS is based on our award-winning
object-oriented "S" programming language, which we licensed on an exclusive
worldwide basis from Lucent Technologies Inc. until we acquired the rights to
"S" in January 2004. S-PLUS offers a wide range of analytic methods for
extracting intelligence from large data sets, and allows its users to create
customized analytical applications that operate in the Windows and UNIX
environments.

Insightful Miner

Insightful Miner is a highly scalable data analysis workbench for
predictive modeling, data mining and statistical data analysis. The intuitive
drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create self-documenting visual
workmaps. Insightful Miner provides data miners, business analysts and data
analysis professionals with a full suite of scalable components for data access,
management and modeling, and its unique pipeline architecture allows the user to
process very large data sets. Insightful Miner is an open and extensible tool
that offers full integration with the S-PLUS programming language. Insightful
Miner offers deployment capabilities via batch mode, predictive model markup
language (PMML), or generated C code. Insightful Miner has a low cost of
ownership compared to its competitors, with a desktop entry-level version and
multiple server versions offered under perpetual licenses rather than annual
rental agreements.

Verticalized Toolkits

To complement S-PLUS and Insightful Miner, we offer toolkits for the
financial services and pharmaceutical markets to allow users to perform
specialized data analysis.

Server Products(R)

Insightful's S-Plus Server products enable our customers to deploy
statistical data analysis throughout an organization, leveraging existing
Web-based or client/server technologies using server computers running
Windows(R) and UNIX(R) operating systems. Our server products are data
warehouse-independent and integrate seamlessly with standard database and file
formats. With our server products, a wide range of statistical models and data
visualization capabilities are built and stored in a central server for access
by non-technical users, who can apply these analytical techniques using a simple
and familiar Web browser interface, or dedicated graphical user interfaces
written using Java technology. Our server products enable end-users to analyze
and understand technical or business information without requiring expertise in
statistics or statistical tools.

TEXT ANALYSIS PRODUCTS

InFact(R)

We launched our text analysis product, InFact, in April 2002 to provide
text analysis for knowledge workers. InFact combines statistical text mining
methods with linguistic techniques that apply natural language processing, such
as full sentence deep syntactic parsing, to text search and analysis.
Researchers are able to utilize InFact's natural language question and answer
and tabular exploratory search interfaces to efficiently uncover information
they are searching for. InFact thus enables researchers to experience higher
levels of productivity, and to improve the quality of their research. InFact has
been initially targeted at the defense/intelligence and pharmaceutical markets.
