Viya was designed to assist users in minimizing the time between early-stage analytical exploration, and acts as the foundation of a new suite of offerings, which include machine learning, to address any analytics projects.<\/p>\n

Viya is accessible from many popular programming languages and public APIs, delivering analytics and data mining to users with any skill level.
