Public Sector

We work with cities, cantons, and the Swiss federal government to bring the power of open source to the public sector.

Government Solutions

Our expertise in R covers the entire data science workflow, from database management and modeling to the creation of interactive dashboards.

Freedom from Lock-In

Using an easy-to-learn, open-source language like R reduces vendor lock-in, because it gives organizations control over their data science workflows. This means organizations can modify, improve, and maintain their systems on their own terms.

Leaders in Open Source

With our contributions to major R packages, we are shaping the future of open source and the R ecosystem. We are deeply committed to the advancement of open-source development, fostering collaboration and innovation within the community.

R Training for Public Administration

We specialize in R training for government agencies, having worked with federal offices, cantons, and cities. Our workshops range from data import and tidying to advanced statistical analysis and automated reporting. Participants learn to handle administrative datasets efficiently, create standardized reports, and build reproducible workflows that meet public sector requirements.
