JMP joins statistics with graphics: you are able to see your data from all angles and discover relationships and outliers that you may have missed. JMP 9 has arrived!

Due to continued increase in JMP usage at the University of Minnesota, the Office of Information Technology (OIT) is for the second year in a row pleased to announce that effective July 1 2011, we were able to once again lower the price for individual and departmental yearly license fees for JMP.  In addition, we added a Collegiate level of JMP licensing. An individual license is now $10/year (down from $15 previously $45), a departmental coverage license is now $250/year (down from $500, previously $2100) and the new Collegiate coverage license is $500/year.
