Fusion provides these core benefits:

1. **Connect MS Excel to Open Data Science.** With Anaconda Fusion, open source packages such as scikit-learn for predictive analytics, pandas for data transformations, and Bokeh for rich, interactive visualizations can be accessed from within the familiar Excel environment.

2. **Leverage Data Scientists' notebooks easily through MS Excel.** Excel users can run data science analysis (such as predictive models, interactive visualizations, and big data queries) through a simple UI without having to write any code.

3. **Access all the power of Python and Big Data, natively embedded inside MS Excel.** Anaconda Fusion allows users to run Python code in their spreadsheets to perform advanced transformations, modeling and querying of data stored in their spreadsheets or stored in databases and Hadoop.

Anaconda Fusion is available as part of the Anaconda Enterprise subscription. To try out Anaconda Fusion for free for a limited time, join the `Anaconda Fusion Innovators Program <http://go.continuum.io/anaconda-fusion-innovators/>`_.
