Re: [R] Organizations where IT has approved the use of R software
Hi All, Thanks for all the responses and interest. I was aware of Revolution Analytics and had seen some of the other links but some were new. The list received should be of great help. Given the R courses that used to be offered through the USGS site, I would assume they are using it but haven't received a response from them yet to the email I sent inquiring. The organization in question is one of the provincial Natural Resources Ministries in Canada.

[R] Organizations where IT has approved the use of R software
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. Never an easy task, this is made much more difficult given that it is open source software (sends the IT gang into little fits). So, I am compiling a list of organizations (Universities, goverment, industry,etc.) that are using R and whose IT department considers it approved software. If you belong to such an organization could you please let me know? If you know of organizations that this applies to, but are not directly affiliated with them I would still be interested but please just let me know which of these two cases your response fits into. Thanks in advance.

Re: [R] Organizations where IT has approved the use of R software
Slightly on topic, just yesterday, the CFPB announced they'll be using R in their work: http://blog.revolutionanalytics.com/applications/ Depending on the scale of your organization, it may not be the open-source nature that's quite the problem of the IT Gang but rather the support (or lack thereof) that's implied by the default startup message. Just like the GNU/Linux world, there exist commercially supported versions that help to fill this gap: if that's the case, and y'all can afford it, some companies have taken advantage of the support contracts provided by Revolution Analytics (whom you can google). To your question, I'd imagine almost all universities support R to one degree or another, many hosting CRAN mirrors (or the CRAN master at WU Wien or the WinBuilder at TU Dortmund ). In industry, many pharmaceutical and financial firms are using R more and more (the blog linked above records these stories nicely) -- we have many users on this list who are associated with major medical institutions as well. Perhaps you can state your general line of work and folks in the same field will come along to share war stories.

Re: [R] Organizations where IT has approved the use of R software
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.

Re: [R] Organizations where IT has approved the use of R software
All: R is used by the NOAA/U.S. National Weather Service to generate graphics representing real-time hydrologic ensemble (probabilistic) forecasts. Go to: http://www.erh.noaa.gov/mmefs/ to see. It is also used in research and development for forecast verification and analyses for the calibration of distributed hydrologic models.
