Agreed Vincent. Problem is R needs hands on guys hence the slow uptake.

SAS's license is damn expensive and thus you will find only big companies, the likes of Safaricom and banks can afford it.
For companies that us it locally, I only know of Safaricom and some International Research companies like CDC,ILRI
But if you get someone to train them on R, it can save the situation. There is also simplified R enterprise by Revolution Analytics (Acquired by Microsoft), you can check that too.

Actually I think the training for R was done by one Mr. Mimano of datadyne. They also do data collection apps for agric NGOs. He's on this list On Sep 16, 2015 8:46 AM, "Eva Kimathi" <evakimathi@gmail.com> wrote:
