Software FAQ's
- What does SPSS stand for?
-
The letters "SPSS" mean something different today than they did when the product was conceived. In 1968, when the company was founded, SPSS stood for Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. As the "package" has grown into a global product, evolving from its academic roots to becoming a leading analytical solutions provider today, we simply use the name SPSS.
