Now that you've read this book, I hope you've been inspired to try Spotfire if you've not already got your hands on it. If you're a seasoned user, then I hope you've learned a lot as you've delved into these chapters in detail. I can certainly say that I have learned a huge amount about Spotfire while I was writing this book, despite my 10 or so years of experience with it! Spotfire is such a broad and deep product that it just begs to be explored further all the time.

I wish you luck on your analytical journey. Post questions on the TIBCO Community or look me...
