Statistical discovery software that’s fast, powerful and totally interactive. So you can get to ‘aha’ quicker.
With JMP 8, you’ll make discoveries – and decisions – faster than ever before.
You’ll understand your customers’ preferences. You’ll make your products last. You’ll get meaningful visual analyses to answer your business questions. You’ll streamline your process to eliminate waste and reduce costs. You’ll explore vast amounts of data stored on your desktop, in databases or on a SAS server.
As always with JMP, your breakthroughs will happen visually, dynamically, interactively. And you’ll be able to easily communicate them with others.

Create your graphs on the fly
Sometimes you don’t know what kind of graph your data demands or even what story it has to tell. With JMP 8, you don’t need to know.
Graph Builder lets you construct graphs interactively and see many dimensions in one graph. You get instantaneous feedback as you drag and drop, without waiting. Forget about switching between windows to make comparisons and explore your data.

You get a visual comparison across grouping levels – all in one plot composed of small multiple elements such as scatterplots, bar charts, box plots and histograms.
If the graph you’ve created isn’t exactly what you want, it takes just a couple of clicks and drags of your mouse to make another one or modify what you’ve got.
With this increased interactivity, it’s easier to get the visualization you want, and you’ll be able to quickly experiment with alternatives.

The choice is yours
No company wants to waste time and money developing products and services that fail to interest or satisfy consumers. This is where the new capabilities of JMP 8 to design and analyze choice experiments can help.

With JMP 8, you can design studies that will ask respondents to make choices among sets of prospective product features. You’ll learn what features your customers want most and how much they are willing to pay for each additional feature.
You can find out which specific product features appeal to the most customers. And you’ll be able to identify market segments and the products that resonate with each. This means you can tailor your products and services to your customers’ needs.
See an in-depth demonstration by John Sall of the new choice analysis capabilities in JMP® 8.
Make products that last
For years, reliability analysis in JMP has been helping you understand how a product or system will perform under certain conditions and for a particular period of time. But in JMP 8, you’ll find new reliability platforms that add powerful new capabilities, thanks to the expert guidance of reliability guru William Q. Meeker of Iowa State University.
Using Fit Life by X, you can now analyze the effect of an acceleration factor – such as temperature, pressure or humidity – on the lifetime of products and parts under a rich set of assumptions.

You can also examine distributional properties of lifetime events with the Life Distribution platform. And you can discover failure causes in a system and understand the effects of repair with the new Competing Causes platform.
The new platforms give you state-of-the-art interactive analysis of lifetime data, providing immediate, visual representation of product reliability.

Share discoveries with colleagues
Your meetings and Web pages will get livelier with JMP 8. Now you can export interactive Bubble Plots and Profilers as Adobe Flash animations to insert into presentations, Web pages and other documents. Show your colleagues what you’ve discovered and let them interact with the visualizations – and see for themselves.

Explore all of your data
JMP 8 keeps pace with your data and computing demands. The software processes up to 2 billion columns and an unlimited number of rows. That means JMP can handle your real-world problems. With JMP 64-Bit Edition, Version 8, for Windows, Macintosh and Linux systems, data size is not a concern.
Dynamically interact with SAS®
Using JMP and SAS together is even easier with JMP 8. Connect to the latest SAS servers, both SAS 9.1.3 and SAS 9.2. Get faster access to SAS features via a new SAS toolbar. Browse data from a local SAS connection using the familiar JMP interface. SAS statistical graphics now flow seamlessly into JMP, making SAS analyses better than ever.
