Abstract:

In today's highly competitive environment, it is not enough to collect the right data; it is not enough to use the best statistical approaches with the data; it is not enough to publish results to decisionmakers; it is not enough to train the masses in statistical thinking. To be truly competitive, a company must be able to turn data into knowledge quickly and reliably, and distribute it to the companies decisionmakers anytime and anyplace. A business's intranet site is the statistician's catalyst to bring truth to the statement "Data + Statistics = Competitive Advantage." We will discuss the power behind web-deployment of statistical ideas and tools and the different ways a statistician can carry out eSTAT (electronic statistics) on their company's intranet sites. We will also describe our experiences using statistical web tools and critical cross-functional allies that can help institutionalize a company's eSTAT program.
