ProbabilityManagement.org (Table 1)
Non-profit ProbabilityManagement.org promotes standards for communicating uncertainties through arrays of data known as SIPs (Stochastic Information Packets). SIPs are: Actionable – may be used directly in Excel to perform thousands of Monte Carlo trials before your finger leaves the key using only the Data Table command. Additive – may be aggregated across platforms across the enterprise. Auditable – are represented as unambiguous data with provenance. Packages such as Crystal Ball, @Risk, Risk Solver, Matlab, R, and SAS may be leveraged through shared stochastic libraries using the open SIPmath™ standard. Visit SIPmath.org for videos and Excel demo models.

Provalis Research (Table 2)
Provalis Research - Provalis Research is a leading developer of text analytics software with ground-breaking qualitative and quantitative analysis programs, such as QDA Miner, an innovative mixed-methods qualitative data analysis software; WordStat, a powerful add-on module for computer assisted content analysis and text mining; and Simstat, an easy yet powerful statistical software. One of the most distinctive features of these tools is their interoperability, allowing researchers to integrate numerical and textual data into a single project file and to seamlessly move back and forth between quantitative and qualitative data analysis, as well as to easily explore relationships between numerical and textual data.
