More data wrangling and preparation needed in analytics space | #reinvent
by Heather Johnson | Oct 8, 2015
At Amazon re:Invent 2015, Amazon announced QuickSight, a cloud-powered business intelligence service that allows users to analyze and get insights from their data. The announcement evidences Amazon’s continuing foray into the analytics space. Self-service data preparation platform Trifacta, which partners with Amazon, is optimistic about Amazon’s progress in this market.
Will Davis, director of product marketing for Trifacta, told John Furrier, cohost of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, that greater focus on analytics means a greater need for data wrangling and preparation. “We see a growing demand for people to prepare that data, access it and transform it for different analytics needs,” he said.
Making data exploration easier
Trifacta gives customers a more accessible method to explore data. “Data isn’t typically structured for a system like QuickSight,” said Davis. “Those systems require well-structured, clean data. We have customers that use Trifacta to explore what’s in that data and transform it into a system like QuickSight or Tableau.”
Davis said Trifacta has a growing number of AWS customers deploying Hadoop on Amazon EC2 — all the more reason for Trifacta’s presence at re:Invent 2015.
“There’s a growing customer base for us to work with,” Davis stated.
