About
Plotly is a data science and AI company focused on taking data science out of the lab and into the business. Plotly makes it easy to create, deploy, and share interactive web apps, graphs, and visualizations in any programming language. We started our careers running the data science program for a California based clean-tech company. As part of this, we were often asked to solve a seemingly simple problem—gather data, make sense of it, and share that information with others. On the surface it seemed straight-forward—but once we collected, analyzed, sorted, etc., we were left with some pretty big questions. 1. How do we share what we’ve learned with others in a meaningful way? 2. How do we enable others to explore our data? 3. Can we give others access to the models to explore on their own? As we tried to address these questions, a more fundamental concern came to mind: how can businesses make meaningful use of data science, if its use and understanding are restricted to just a few individuals? This was the seed that started Plotly. When we first started to develop our technology, the tools for scientific and data analysis were not keeping pace with business needs. We believed that in order to bring data and knowledge sharing into reality, we’d need to evolve technology to use the web as a data science platform and power discovery with open source.
