ANNAPOLIS, Md., Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- DATUM LLC, a leading data governance solutions company, has entered into partnership with Ocean9, an innovator in digital transformation focused on helping SAP customers get the most out of technologies associated with the cloud, Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT).

Ocean9 provides faster, more efficient access to SAP S/4HANA via the cloud, enabling new levels of business agility while significantly reducing cost and risk typically associated with conventional SAP HANA deployments.

DATUM has long been recognized for its focus on connecting mission critical business goals and objectives to the data that matters most. The company was named to Gartner's Cool Vendors list in 2012 and most recently included in Gartner's 2016 Market Guide for Information Stewardship Applications. In addition, this year DATUM was named a Strong Performer in The Forrester Wave™: Data Governance Stewardship Applications. Internationally, DATUM's business value approach to data received high marks in 2016 as a "critical success factor for large enterprises" from Bloor Research, one of Europe's leading independent IT research, analysis and consultancy firms.   

Combined with DATUM's IVM platform, Ocean9's ability to deliver a high performance infrastructure ready to use in a matter of minutes can enable an all-around more agile enterprise.
