In the report, JMP noted that we are in an "Analytics Renaissance" and that analytics are evolving to help address the challenges of big data and to make analytics consumable by anyone, anywhere. This closely reflects Pentaho's approach of "Any Analytics, Any Data, Simplified." Pentaho's modern, integrated and embeddable business analytics and integration platform helps customers get fast insight and value from their data. With the ability to access and integrate with the latest versions and capabilities of popular big data stores, it makes sense that Pentaho is joined in this category by strategic partners Cloudera, DataStax, MapR and MongoDB.

"We are honored to be recognized by JMP Securities as a top software company in the big data infrastructure and analytics category, a market that has been valued at upwards of $19 billion," said Quentin Gallivan, CEO of Pentaho. "The Pentaho platform is in the pole position to integrate and blend diverse big data sets together to deliver end-to-end big data analytics solutions to large enterprises – a platform that experienced 83% year-over-year growth in big data and embedded analytics in 2013 alone."
