What Is Computable Data?
Storing data digitally is only the first step toward meaningful analysis. To integrate data into repeatable, computation-driven workflows, it must be made computable—standardized, structured around clear properties and accessible for accurate, AI-supported retrieval. Use Wolfram Language's thousands of examples of built-in computable data and integrate them with your own data. Or contact Wolfram to learn how we help organizations develop a strategy and make your own data computable.

The Wolfram Edge
Wolfram technology can fully replace, act as a hub for or simply integrate with a wide range of different software packages and turnkey solutions across all areas of the data science lifecycle, encompassing a sum of their functionality and surpassing their combined utility thanks to uniquely integrated architecture. This is a guide to the elements of the Wolfram data science technology stack and how they relate to traditional software types.
Machine Learning
Advanced automated machine learning meets the power of symbolic computation
Wolfram has pioneered highly automated multiparadigm machine learning—and deeply integrated it into Wolfram Language—making state-of-the-art machine learning in a full range of applications accessible to entry-level self-service analysts and researchers alike.
Wolfram machine learning immediately fits into your existing workflows, allowing you to easily add machine learning anywhere, through platform-agnostic instant model deployments or by exporting neural nets to run standalone in separate programs or on separate hardware. Moreover, with Wolfram's breakthrough symbolic framework, neural nets become uniquely modular, manipulable and adaptable for future advancements.

Data Analysis & Visualization
Broadest analysis & visualization toolset with built-in computational intelligence
Wolfram's uniquely integrated technology stack allows the creation of fully interactive visualizations that provide a new level of dynamic experience for exploring data, adding them directly into documents and deploying to virtually any platform of any scale, all from within one unified environment.
Drawing on by far the broadest array of sophisticated numeric, geometric and discrete functions, meta-algorithms in Wolfram Language automatically select optimal specific algorithms to use in each unique situation—enabling questions-driven workflows—unattainable by disparate solutions that are built around toolset-driven approaches.

Statistical & Numerical Analysis
Largest collection of built-in statistical functions with the reliability of arbitrary-precision numerics and symbolic analysis
Wolfram dramatically raises the bar for statistical computation—making possible a vastly higher level of integration of the complete analysis workflow, as well as providing major extensibility beyond the specific functions implemented in particular statistical systems.
With its multiparadigm approach, Wolfram Language immediately allows a much higher level of computation—routinely handling data with arbitrarily general structure, validating and extending numerical precision, directly manipulating formulas and equations symbolically, automatically selecting optimal algorithms and integrating active computation and interfaces into presentation-quality documents.

Database Connectivity & Data Processing
Seamless database connectivity & format-agnostic, content-aware data importing & processing
The symbolic character of Wolfram Language allows it to support an exceptionally flexible and general approach to structured datasets. Unifying both relational (SQL-like) and hierarchical (no-SQL) standards, Wolfram Language incorporates a new kind of uniquely powerful data query language—with seamless scaling from direct in-memory computation to computations backed by external files or databases.
Though not a typical database technology, the Wolfram technology stack achieves the status of the world's richest environment for processing and transforming data by providing immediate import in hundreds of standard and specialized formats and native connectivity to external databases and web data sources.

Development Environment & Language
The most powerful notebooks meet the most advanced programming language
Wolfram Language allows programmers to operate at a significantly higher level than ever before by leveraging built-in computational intelligence that relies on a vast depth of algorithms and real-world knowledge carefully integrated over three decades. Wolfram Language also avoids the shortcomings of traditional computer languages of applying the same programming style to every problem by simultaneously supporting both symbolic and numeric methodologies as well as multiple programming paradigms, such as procedural, functional, rule based, pattern based and more.
Specialized software and add-on toolboxes discourage the creative exploration of new ideas and areas. You shouldn't need one program to process your data, another to analyze it and a third to interactively present it. Thanks to native integration with Wolfram Language, Wolfram Notebooks do everything in a single workflow, keeping all elements of a project—calculations, visualizations, data, documentation and even interactive applications—together, in uniquely flexible documents.
