OTTAWA, February 16th, 2007 - e-academy Inc. today announced the availability of Minitab 15 Statistical Software on its online storefront. As with previous versions, qualified academic buyers will be able to order this leading statistical software tool at a reduced price. Minitab is used worldwide in quality improvement and statistics education, and is one of e-academy's most popular titles. Additionally, Quality Companion 2 can also be purchased on the e-academy eStore.
Students and educators have the option of either purchasing or renting Minitab 15 through e-academy's eStore. The rental option allows students to lease software for a fixed period of time, typically the length of a university course. The leasing option was added to provide additional discounts to students and has since met with great popularity.
Minitab 15 retains the previous version's intuitive and straightforward interface, making it simple for new and current users to access every feature. The new version contains nearly 50 enhancements, including:
- Ability to assign formulas to columns in the worksheet
- Expanded gage R&R capabilities
- Power (OC) curves for power and sample size
- Probability distribution plot
- New reliability methods for forecasting future warranty claims
- More than 40 new calculator functions
e-academy provides brand-name software to students and faculty of recognized post-secondary institutions around the world, at discounts of up to two-thirds below regular retail pricing. Minitab has been a principal part of this effort since e-academy's storefront website opened in September 1999.
Although Minitab is widely known for being easy to use, it contains the advanced tools needed for even the most rigorous quality improvement projects. That combination has fuelled the software's success, and Minitab has been used to implement virtually every major Six Sigma initiative around the world.
"Minitab's intuitive interface lets people focus on improving their business, not learning to navigate another piece of software," said J.-P. Mulley, product manager for Minitab. "That's why it's also the popular choice for teaching statistics in universities and even high schools."
Added Ram Raju, CEO of e-academy Inc.: "This initiative validates e-academy's mission to provide affordable software to the international education market. Now many more students will benefit from e-academy's convenience and discount prices."
