Certified Posit Full Service Partner
Focus on Your Analytics
Our service starts at the very first step of setting up an enterprise data science environment. As a Posit Full Service Partner, we coordinate with your IT department and prepare the server machine. We integrate and configure the software products according to your needs. We train your team to use and enjoy the working environment.
Situation Analysis IT
Our Posit based Enterprise Data Science Environment is typically installed on a server provided by the customer, or in a container platform (OpenShift, Kubernetes). In either case, the Enterprise Data Science Environment runs in a container, which is agnostic to the host operating system. We analyze the installation setup with your IT team and provide customized configurations.
Included Software
The Enterprise Data Science Environment allows you to use different R versions efficiently, balance the server resources, and connect to identity providers (e.g., Active Directory, OpenID, SAML). It also has tools for user-defined control of database connections. Furthermore, the Enterprise Data Science Environment provides software often used in conjunction with R, such as Git, LaTeX, and Pandoc.
Training and Support
Part of our offer is training and support. In doing so, we introduce all team members to the new product and provide assistance to them in their daily work. We maintain and regularly update both the Posit products and the additional software. We guarantee the functionality of the Enterprise Data Science Environment and quickly react to problems within tailored response times.
What Our Clients Say About Us:
The partners at cynkra respond quickly to our requests, and the maintenance of the environment is very smooth. Additionally, the cynkra team very patiently answered our R-packaging related questions.
Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF)
With Posit Workbench, we now have a centralized solution where everyone works with the same basic settings, which makes our work more reproducible and allows better collaboration within the teams.
Statistical Office of the Canton of Zurich
We thought we were efficiently organized, but it was before we met and hired Christoph. He discovered a whole lot of room for improvement in the way the Swiss QNA were compiled and calculated.

Smart configurations, dockerized environment
Under the hood
Our managed solutions come with smart defaults and tailored configuration from local package repositories to pre-configured database setups. Our data science environments are containerized and allow for substantial speed gains compared to a local installation.
Smart configurations
We define appropriate configuration settings so users can use the full power of the Posit product suite. Our product saves the IT team from having to go through the complete admin guide and the possible risk of missing something important. As a Posit Full Service Partner, we have experience configuring Posit products in almost all possible configuration scenarios including highly secured enterprise environments and most user authentication systems.
Dockerized environment
Our products come in a containerized environment, making them agnostic to any underlying operating system. Using a containerized environment also simplifies update tasks (for you and us) due to the independence from the underlying operating system. By relying on the stable Ubuntu LTS environment as the base layer, we can provide a stable LaTeX / Pandoc environment that eliminates most problems for users in this area.
Performance
Centralized, server-based installations can be very efficient both in regard to speed and battery consumption. This applies to all Posit products, but in particular to Posit Workbench and Posit Package Manager. This blog post details some of the substantial speed gains that users experience compared to a local installation. In addition to startup, calculation speed and the time for package installation are also vastly improved.
