Commercial Support For R
In 2007, Revolution Analytics was founded to provide commercial support for Revolution R, its distribution of R, which also includes components developed by the company. Major additional components include: ParallelR, the R Productivity Environment IDE, RevoScaleR (for big data analysis), RevoDeployR, web services framework, and the ability for reading and writing data in the SAS file format.
In October 2011, Oracle announced the Big Data Appliance, which integrates R, Apache Hadoop, Oracle Enterprise Linux, and a NoSQL database with the Exadata hardware. Oracle R Enterprise is now one of two components of the "Oracle Advanced Analytics Option" (the other component is Oracle Data Mining).
Other major commercial software systems supporting connections to R include: JMP, MATLAB, Spotfire, SPSS, STATISTICA, Platform Symphony, and SAS.
TIBCO, the current owner of the S-Plus language, is allowing some of its employees to actively support R by participation in its R-Help mailing list (mentioned above), by sponsorship of the useR series of user group meetings, and by access to code developed in S-Plus. Google is a heavy user of R internally and publishes a style guide. It sponsors R projects in its Summer-of-Code efforts, and also financially supports the useR series of meetings.

“Certainly parents play a crucial role in the lives of individuals who are intellectually gifted or creatively talented. But this role is not one of active instruction, of teaching children skills,... rather, it is support and encouragement parents give children and the intellectual climate that they create in the home which seem to be the critical factors.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
