Platfora

Platfora is a big data analytics company that provides a big data analytics platform to help companies get insights into the events, actions and norm times of their business.

Platfora's platform enables organizations to analyze their data, such as transactions, customer interactions, and machine data.

Platfora was founded in 2011 by Ben Werther & is based in San Mateo, CA.

Platfora’s software works with the open-source software framework Apache Hadoop; when a user queries a database, the product delivers answers in real time via a graphical user interface. Bloomberg Businessweek called it “Big Data for Dummies.” A corporate or government data analyst can use the interface to filter results, or drag and drop fields to create graphs, overlays, and other visualizations of the data. The analyst can then share those data visualizations and answers with others.

Platfora is one of several big data analytics companies that industry analysts expect to compete with established firms including SAP, IBM, SAS, and Oracle, whose older methods of data analysis and visualization are currently more time consuming.
