To make the best decisions based on data, you need powerful analysis. SPSS 11.0 empowers you to reach the in-depth answers that come only from using advanced analytical techniques. Get the information you need with data access, data preparation, analytical reporting, segmentation and predictive modeling. Leverage your data and knowledge using SPSS -- and ensure you get better analysis through prediction.
When using SPSS 11.0 to make better decisions, you can:
 Accessing data in your database is no longer a
time-consuming chore. The Database Capture Wizard makes it
easy for you to connect to the exact information you need.
Plus, the wizard walks you through the access process showing
you tables, fields and joins. |
Extract the value from your data wherever they
reside
Every piece of your acquired data has intrinsic
value. The key is extracting this value. SPSS empowers you to access
and analyze massive customer data tables more quickly -- and more
thoroughly -- than ever before. Get built-in access to massive
amounts of data from numerous sources, including demographic and
survey data, corporate databases, and data warehouse or data mart
files.
 Save time creating and labeling your charts. All the
labels you use in the SPSS Data Editor are automatically
included in all SPSS charts. |
Create high value data using analytical data
preparation
The cleaner your data, the clearer your
answers. Sometimes your data aren't ready for analysis. And, if you
don't clean them up, you could have a serious analytical problem.
Use SPSS transformations to solve this problem. Prepare your data
for analysis and ensure your analysis is accurate and your results
are as clear as possible.
To get the best results, you'll also need to organize, view and edit your data. Use the Data Editor and reach better answers more easily. For example, perhaps you're looking for people within various data subsets who fit a certain profile. SPSS allows you to run the same analysis on all data subsets at once, making it easy to select relevant data or to work on samples of your entire dataset.

Examine your data and focus your analysis with flexible output |
 | |
Use a variety of techniques to get results. For example, see key findings and drill down for details in interactive output. Get maximum insight using revolutionary report OLAP cubes.
See your data from a whole new perspective using SPSS' revolutionary interactive graphs. With a few mouse clicks, you can easily transform information and watch your charts update -- on the fly.
 In this example, we used
regression to determine the best predictor of deal size.
Specifically, we see that preferred customers have a $117
higher average deal value than regular customers. Also, we can
see that for each minute the customer spends on hold, the deal
value decreases by $239. These results indicate to us that we
want to increase customer sign-up for our preferred customer
program and minimize the time customers spend on
hold. |
Know what drives actions using segmentation,
modeling and statistics
Uncover important relationships by segmenting your data. Use powerful modeling techniques to help you make better decisions. Get the most popular statistical procedures for powerful analysis, including: aggregate, counts, crosstabs, descriptives, factor analysis, regression and cluster analysis in SPSS 11.0.
Deploy results to maximize their
benefits
To truly benefit from your analysis, you must
deploy results. SmartViewer Web Server enables you to get the right
information into the right hands and ensure clients and colleagues
can immediately interact with your results. SmartViewer Web Server
also gives you control over your documents. Full security -- user
level, group level and document level -- lets you to decide exactly
who sees specific documents. While SmartViewer Web Server's SSL
encryption capability protects the information you send over the
Web.
Get better decision making throughout your
entire organization
Empower any user in your organization
to work with large, centralized data sources for better decision
making. SPSS Server 11.0 gives your organization the ability to
analyze massive data files faster than ever before, streamline and
speed up data access, increase productivity and make better use of
existing hardware.
Get truly scalable analysis and reap the benefits in your IT department. Reduce network traffic and let fast server boxes do the heavy computation work. Streamline data access by eliminating database copying and conversion -- download data only if you want to. Get better performance from your entire analytical process -- automate all SPSS Server tasks. Balance processing power throughout your organization with centralized monitoring and control. And because SPSS DAA (Distributed Analysis Architecture) works on a variety of NT and UNIX server boxes with NT clients, you can use your existing hardware.
