It's hard to respond without making it seem like an advertisement for Revolution Analytics, but helping companies and government organizations standardize on R (specifically, Revolution R) for data analysis is something we specialize in. The (partial) list of our customers using Revolution R at
http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/aboutus/our-customers.php may be useful fodder for your IT group, as may be this list of applications companies have done with R: http://www.revolutionanalytics.com/what-is-open-source-r/companies-using-r.php The section on the Revolutions blog that Michael Weylandt pointed to (http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/applications/) may also be useful to you. If you'd like to contact me directly, I'd be happy to connect you with some folks here at Revolution Analytics that can provide direct help on getting R adopted at your organization. Hope this is useful to you, # David Smith On Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 11:04, lynnland <lynn.landria...@ontario.ca> wrote: > > Hi Gang, > > I realize this post is not directly related to programing issues with R, > however, it appears this may be the best place to ask my question. > > I am putting forward a request that R be considered "approved" software in > my organization.
