ENTERPRISE DATA LAKE

The Podium Data team has developed the industry’s first enterprise data lake management software platform — Podium — that accelerates time-to-answer from months to minutes, consolidates data and processing onto a single platform, and ensures data protection and quality. Podium enables traditional businesses to attain the power and economics of Hadoop and rapidly deliver validated, trusted, business-ready data securely to the enterprise with our pre-integrated software platform.

About UsPodium Data was founded in 2014 by five serial entrepreneurs with a shared vision of radically simplifying and improving how organizations manage, prepare, and deliver critical information to the business.

With over 100 years of combined experience in designing and delivering enterprise data management solutions, Podium’s founders are focused on solving the ubiquitous challenges many Fortune 500 CIOs face. Data warehouses, analytic appliances, and other traditional data management platforms aren’t able to keep up with what businesses need most: fast access

to quality data they can trust. Emerging big data technologies like Hadoop hold the potential to solve these problems and significantly reduce cost. However, an enterprise-ready solution requires security, governance, and self-service access by business analysts — all of which Hadoop lacks.

Introducing Podium, the first enterprise data lake management platform.
