Our Story

Whether you're discovering the next great opportunity in the financial markets or analyzing data from a global ocean model —

You’re working to effect change. Not to become a software expert.
The problem lies in the data. Literally.
Massive, diverse, ever-growing data.

To unlock the knowledge in today’s data, we all need modern tools.

So we asked

What if data scientists shackled by the limitations of spreadsheets, or undone by the complexities of mixing traditional infrastructure with modern approaches, suddenly had the ability to dramatically accelerate their work?

Then we asked

What if researchers could combine any data they wanted with the most innovative techniques—to discover new drugs, create social good, or enable insights that make the world better?

And finally we asked

What if we were to empower the people closest to the problems—whether those problems were in business, engineering, or anywhere people seek answers in complex data—with a modern analytics platform that’s simple to use?

What problems could be solved if people facing big challenges didn’t have to be software experts?

That’s why we created Anaconda.

Our Mission

We help people discover, analyze, and collaborate by connecting their curiosity and experience with any data. It all comes together here.

Anaconda gives superpowers to people who change the world.

 

Our Vision

Today we have infinite amounts of data. The ability to create knowledge from data is fundamentally changing the way people make decisions. No longer can a motivated analyst pick up tools off the shelf and create an interactive data pipeline in an afternoon. Historically, the technology required to build analysis and visualization is only accessible to the most technologically advanced companies in the world. The impact of lowering the barriers of entry to data-driven decision-making is enormous.

As computing infrastructure and data architectures become larger and more complex, we have a simple purpose: better and faster answers, by keeping analysts and scientists in the driver’s seat. We think you should be able to seamlessly move between the web, an enterprise data hub, or a cloud infrastructure. Our services and tools help the world manage the complexity ahead, creating better analysis and visualizations for all.

We build technologies that enable analysts to answer questions from the data all around us. By engaging open source communities, we are building useful tools that are sustainable and widely used. By focusing on collaborative technologies, we give analysts a better medium to communicate their decision process and focus their stakeholders on the details that matter most. In creating a platform for distributing that expertise, we enable teams to quickly share insights and evolve solutions most critical to their success.
