Podium Data Named to Crn’s 2017 Big Data 100 List

LOWELL, Mass., May 04, 2017 -- Podium Data has been named to CRN’s 2017 Big Data 100 list in the “Coolest Management and Integration” category.

This annual list recognizes the ingenuity of tech suppliers bringing to market innovative offerings for harnessing the increasingly massive amounts of data generated in today’s digital world, raising the bar for data management and challenging established IT practices.

Podium’s data lake management platform enables large companies to set up, secure and manage self-service “data marketplaces” where data analysts or other data-savvy business people can “shop” for and build personalized data sets from large collections of well-governed secure enterprise data, without help from IT or the need for specialized technical skills. By giving the business widespread self-service, on-demand access to data and cutting the time required to get new data from months to days, Podium helps organizations increase their use of analytics to become more agile, insight-driven competitors.

Businesses are constantly grappling with the exploding volume, speed, and variety of information they produce and utilize on a daily basis to remain competitive. Solution providers are on a never-ending quest to tame this big data with innovative tools, technologies, and services that can convert it into meaningful, usable statistics.

In response to this challenge, the CRN editorial team has identified the IT vendors at the forefront of data management, business analytics and infrastructure technologies and services. The resulting Big Data 100 list is a valuable guide for solution providers seeking out key big data technology suppliers.

“For the past three years, Podium’s solution partners have rapidly deployed successful data lakes at Fortune 1000 customers. Our self-service data marketplace unlocks the power of an organization’s data troves, and we’re thrilled that the editors at CRN can see the value we are delivering to customers,” said Paul Barth, CEO of Podium Data. “Podium’s turnkey platform allows leading solution providers to deliver more value, more quickly than traditional approaches, and our partners are winning deals as a result.”

“Businesses everywhere are faced with managing information streams of unprecedented volume and complexity, requiring more powerful and efficient tools than ever before for capturing, storing, organizing, securing and analyzing data,” said Robert Faletra, CEO of The Channel Company. “CRN is pleased to present the 2017 Big Data 100, a list of vendors whose ingenuity and creative problem-solving have introduced remarkable new ways to help solution providers tackle this mammoth task. Congratulations to these Big Data aces, who have not only kept pace with the rapidly evolving demands of the data management field but also innovated and challenged the status quo.”
