Pentaho's extensible data integration and analytics platform, combined with Amazon Redshift's ability to quickly scale, allowed NASDAQ to build a cloud-based, big data platform that efficiently and cost-effectively transforms and analyzes billions of rows of data every day. By capitalizing on the variety and volume of big data in a more self-service way to easily access, enrich and de-identify data sets, NASDAQ can package this data in new service offerings to identifying customer and cross-sell segmentation opportunities, ultimately widening the gap between NASDAQ and competitors.

"We are preparing the stock market for the next 100 years, addressing 21st century trading challenges (and beyond) with open and emerging technologies for cloud, business analytics and big data," said Michael Weiss, Senior Developer, NASDAQ.  We collect over 10 billion rows of financial information everyday.  With Pentaho we can now deliver any type of data with governance and stream it to lines of business and customers in a scalable, collaborative and cost effective way."

"By embedding Pentaho into their application, NASDAQ has created a transparent, standardized data environment that can be commoditized while lowering costs," said Rosanne Saccone, CMO at Pentaho. "As an innovative technology company with several new big data analytics projects in the works, we look forward to seeing what other new markets opportunities are on the horizon for NASDAQ."
