OnTheHub Now Offers JMP® 8 Software at Exclusive Academic Discounts

Ottawa, ON - June 17, 2009 -- OnTheHub, through its eStore is now offering the latest version of JMP® 8 software to all qualified academic students, at exclusive academic discounts.

JMP 8 software incorporates some of the latest statistics and business analytics offered by SAS, which has provided statistical software to companies and academia for over 30 years. The unique JMP navigation paradigm drives students through statistics using point, click, drag, and drop, and then displays results as statistics and interactive graphs in the same window. Students can easily subset, perform subsequent analyses, and create 3D and moving graphics to help understand the results of their analyses, and share their work as files that professors and classmates can open on their own desktops.

JMP 8 software is offered as a 6- or 12- month license rental, for both the Mac and Windows platform, with discounts of up to 80% off retail prices for students.

Ken Farquhar, Director of Sales at e-academy notes "We are pleased to continue to strengthen our partnership with JMP to provide the latest JMP 8 software through OnTheHub. JMP 8 is a great addition to our current multitude of leading- edge software titles, which are available to the worldwide educational community at exclusive academic prices."A

"e-academy's OnTheHub is a trusted partner that enables thousands of students each year to license their own copy of JMP on home or laptop computers for less than the price of a concert ticket," says Gail Massari, JMP Marketing Manager at SAS. "That means students are using statistics and analytics for classroom and research assignments in cafés, libraries, and on the lawns of campuses around the world. We love that!"
