"By understanding the customer's CTQs (Critical to Quality) and creating designs and processes to meet them, Engineous has made it possible to delight the customer and improve profitability simultaneously." iSIGHT 6.0 also features an MS/Excel add-on that allows engineers to integrate spreadsheets directly into iSIGHT from MS/Excel, as well as a direct interface to Insightful's S-PLUS, which provides enhanced visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all and statistical post-processing capabilities. "Insightful and Engineous are excited about extending our strategic collaboration with iSIGHT 6.0," says Insightful CEO Shawn Javid.
