Everyone agrees: There has been a lot of hype around big data. There are differing views, however, on if that hype has been or will be met. The promise has been elusive.
We believe this is because people were trying to solve today’s problems with yesterday’s technology. The truth is that big data is different: There’s more, it comes faster, and it changes all the time. In this world, with last-generation tools, IT was doomed to fail.
Platfora recognized this and took a different path. We built a new architecture unlike anything that has been seen before by putting business users in control of the incredible power of Apache Hadoop. We call it the Interest Driven Pipeline (TM), and it will unlock the next quantum leap in productivity for business.
We offer this approach and after two years in development, it’s available today. Customers such as Edmunds.com and Riot Games have accelerated the time-to-value from months to hours and have given business users consistently fast access to all of their data collected in Hadoop. This is game-changing technology that lets companies be more agile and make better business decisions immediately.
Platfora is proving that the promise of big data is attainable by every enterprise, and we’re just getting started.
