PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/11/15 -- Altiscale, Inc., the leading provider of Big Data-as-a-Service, and InnovAccer, Inc., a leading provider of data science applications, today announced a strategic partnership to quickly bring targeted, analytical applications to healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, and academic research organizations.

With the recent explosion in data sources and data volumes, it is generally recognized that only a small fraction of data that's produced today is actually being analyzed to drive business forward. This challenge is twofold; first, companies need to rapidly develop the big data infrastructure needed to store, manage, and process all of this information. Secondly, companies need analytical applications that can deliver actionable insights relevant to their business. By joining forces, Altiscale and InnovAccer seek to address both of these issues, helping businesses find insights that drive business forward.

Datashop, the core technology behind all InnovAccer solutions, enables fast, cost-effective data integration, provides a library of analytical algorithms, and produces dynamic visualizations that are compatible with existing BI tools. Datashop was developed with the backing of researchers from MIT, Harvard, and Stanford, and has been tested against data sets such as 700,000 flight safety documents, thousands of hours of quarterly earnings calls, and large volumes of patient health data.

InnovAccer offers multiple solutions built on the Datashop platform. For healthcare companies, Datashop Care provides a unified view of patients, helping to deliver improved, targeted care. For financial services companies, Datashop Alchemy provides macro-level visibility into the risks of economic markets. For manufacturing companies and others relying on the Internet of Things (IoT), Datashop Synapse provides real-time and batch analysis of device data streams. With the Datashop Research Cloud, InnovAccer provides a vast library of research-ready datasets, so that researchers can rely upon high veracity data in their analyses.

"InnovAccer has quickly established its expertise in delivering analytical applications for industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and financial services," said Raymie Stata, CEO, Altiscale. "Industries like these are facing a new big data challenge, with vast amounts of information waiting to be tapped to help improve care delivery and pharmaceutical development, streamline manufacturing operations, or to manage financial services risk. We are looking forward to working closely together to deliver applications that help these industries get rapid insight from their data."

Altiscale provides the Altiscale Data Cloud, a Big Data-as-a-Service solution that provides an Apache Hadoop and Apache Spark-based ecosystem in the cloud.
