It was first released in 1968 as SPSS. In 1983 came version 10 (spss-X), in which data files could contain multiple record types.

Version 16.0 and later could run under Linux, Mac and Windows. On July 28, 2009 SPSS announced that it is being acquired by IBM. Because of the dispute of ownership of the name the product was referred to as PASW (Predictive Analytics Software).

In January 2010, it became SPSS, an IBM company. Complete ownership was given to IBM on October 1, 2010.
