Posits’s primary purpose is to create free and open-source software for data science, scientific research, and technical communication. This allows anyone with access to a computer to participate freely in a global economy that rewards data literacy; enhances the production and consumption of knowledge; and facilitates collaboration and reproducible research in science, education and industry.

To reliably contribute to the deeper understanding and improvement of the world, data science tools must be sustainable over the long haul, which requires a stable, long-term source of financial investment. Today, millions of people download and use Posit open-source products in their daily lives while thousands of organizations and individuals, who have the need and ability to pay for their commercial products on premises or online, help them to sustain this work. Together, these products form a virtuous cycle. The adoption of open-source data science software in organizations creates demand for our commercial products, which enable teams to adopt open-source data science software at scale. The revenue from our commercial products, in turn, enables ongoing investment in the open-source software that benefits all users.
