About the Company

Platfora makes knowing possible. Most companies that think they`re using big data aren`t. Without realizing it, they`re only seeing a fraction of what they have. Platfora is a self-service, iterative, and fast platform that makes it possible to leverage all of your organization`s data, so you can unlock insights, find new opportunities, make more meaningful decisions, and produce better outcomes. Platfora`s intuitive visual interface encourages you to ask new questions about your data and makes it easy to follow hunches, test theories, and keep refining your search until you find exactly what you are looking for—all with no coding required.    The only complete, end-to-end analytics platform built natively on Hadoop and Spark, Platfora Big Data Analytics is creating data-driven competitive advantages in the areas of security, marketing, finance, operations and the Internet of Things for leading organizations such as Citi, Sears, AutoTrader, Disney, Edmunds.com, Opower, Riot Games, Vivint and TUI Travel.

 

About the Person

Harnessing big data is as much about deep server technology as it is a battle to reign in complexity. The status quo is untenable -- brittle infrastructure, impenetrable tools, and lots of user pain. Ben founded Platfora to change this and unify disruptive server technology with superb user experience into a big data platform, for business users, that just works. He is an industry veteran and big data thought leader and was head of products at Greenplum through the EMC acquisition.
