SLOUGH, United Kingdom–(BUSINESS WIRE)–

Actian
Corporation today announced that it has signed a strategic partner
agreement with FlyingBinary,
provider of disruptive analytics and cloud computing solutions, and Tableau,
the global leader in rapid-fire business intelligence software, to take
Big Data and Social Measurement Optimization solutions to market. The
announcement was made ahead of the Tableau European
Customer Conference in Barcelona from April 2-4 where Actian is a
sponsor.

FlyingBinary will integrate Actian’s Vectorwise, holder of multiple
world records for performance and price performance, and business
intelligence (BI) software Tableau in a cutting-edge, comprehensive
business analytics solution that allows organizations ranging from
financial institutions, retail and investment banking, online
communities, manufacturing, advertising agencies and telecommunications
companies to distill business insight from the growing tsunami of data.

The ongoing digital and social media revolution and the proliferation of
smart devices have resulted in an exponential growth of data.
Increasingly, companies are collecting this information from sources as
varied as customer habits, digital patterns, trends and online
conversations. The heterogeneous nature of the information is the
defining characteristic of Big Data and presents enterprises with the
challenge of turning this amorphous material into speedy and actionable
business analytics while leveraging information generated by social
media networks. By unlocking actionable insight, enterprises are set to
increase competitive advantage that can help them make powerful gains.

“In an era where data is considered the new oil in terms of its value,
the traditional enterprise data warehouse is no longer suited to handle
the growing mass of unstructured data,” commented Jacqui Taylor, CEO of
FlyingBinary. “Our partnership with Actian enables us to offer a
radically new proposition for Big Data analytics and database
management, as well as a new platform of choice for Social Measurement
Optimization. By combining blazingly fast database technology from
Actian as a repository to store social media data and provide
capabilities to drill into unstructured data with Tableau’s data
visualisation capabilities – deployable on any desktop for any user –
FlyingBinary is now empowered to deliver a gamechanging solution for
actionable BI and social media analytics.”

“With FlyingBinary being awarded the Framework Agreement for the
provision of G-Cloud Services by the UK government’s G-Cloud initiative,
we are planning to include this Big Data Cloud solution with Vectorwise
and Tableau as part of our public sector offering,” added Jacqui Taylor.

“The two-pronged approach of using our record-breaking database,
Vectorwise as the back end and Tableau’s visual analytics layer at the
front end will address the dual needs of enterprises for turbo-charged
business analytics at breakneck speed and for a platform that will help
optimize social measurement across the social networks,” said Steve
Shine, CEO of Actian. “We are delighted to be part of this partnership.”

“Effectively managing Big Data can provide a critical advantage to
organizations looking to differentiate themselves from competitors,”
added Suzanne Hoffman, Director of Channel Sales at Tableau. “We are
excited to be part of an offering that will help enterprises as they
seek to quickly and easily analyze, visualize and share their business
and customer information.”
