QuantCell is an end-user programming environment for data scientists that allows them to build sophisticated analysis, models, and applications more efficiently. It provides formula completion and recommendation engines to simplify access to algorithms, data sources, and compute power for non-programmers. QuantCell takes the familiar spreadsheet environment and brings the power of programming languages and big data frameworks to enable more organizations and users to benefit from big data analysis.

A Proven Environment for Analytics
Taking the spreadsheet to the next level
• Brings the power of real programming languages to the spreadsheet user
• Access to Big Data frameworks and thousands of libraries for analytics
• No interpreted code or object model, just functional like programming
• Cloud and HPC ready
• Models can be deployed independent of QuantCell
• Intuitive spreadsheet
user interface
• Proven environment for
rapidly building models
• Familiar to most users

8. 8
Formula Completion
• Lowers the barriers for non-programmers to benefit from
programming languages such as Java, SQL, Scala and Jython
• Reduces and sometimes eliminates the need to write code
• Formula completion and formula recommendation engines
• Intuitive one-click access to a algorithms
• Simplifies access to data sources and compute cycles
• Automates deployment of solutions into production
Empowering Data Scientists and Domain Experts

9. 9
A Terabyte of Algorithms
• Intuitive, on-demand access to thousands of libraries, tools,
and Big Data frameworks from online repositories
• Become part of the “formula library” in the spreadsheet
• Explosive growth in open source and publicly available
libraries for data analysis in various domains
• Supported by a growing and active community of contributors
• Users can add their own private libraries to QuantCell

10. 10
Simplifies Access to Data
• Capable of analyzing very large datasets
• Connects to most databases and data sources
• Delivers one-click access to over 50 data providers with
over 100 million time series
• Real-time queries of Hadoop servers

11. 11
Access to Compute Power
• Runs locally on the user’s machine for rich visualization
of data and more
• Hadoop servers, public and private clouds, and HPC
grids can be utilized for more compute intensive projects

12. 12
Deployment of QuantCell Models
• Aim to facilitate and automate the path from model
development to deployment of models into production
• Supports deployment paths to various environments
directly from the spreadsheet interface
• QuantCell models are independent of the QuantCell
spreadsheet environment
• Models are pure Java APIs and deployment ready
