SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
March 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Hortonworks, Inc. ® (NASDAQ: HDP), a leading innovator
of open and connected data platforms, today announced that Soleo
Communications, Inc., a market-leading local search and digital
media company, is leveraging Hortonworks Data Platform
(HDP®) and Hortonworks DataFlow (HDF™) to connect people
and businesses together.
Soleo bridges the space between the world of telephony and the
world of Modern Data Applications. Every week, Soleo handles and
routes millions of calls and searches for consumers trying to
connect with local merchants. Through the use of HDP, Soleo
collects and processes that data in bulk, pulling from data centers
throughout the United States.
Soleo then uses HDP to analyze these calls and generate
individualized reports for account managers, merchants, business
analysts, and data scientists.
"Over the past several years, Soleo has grown ever more reliant
on data analysis to run the business. Even small delays in data
availability can lead to frustration and inefficiency," said
Mike Thorpe, chief technology
officer of Soleo. "HDP provides us with a platform with the
scalability and reliability to handle our growing data warehousing
requirements."
As Soleo's business scaled, it realized it could provide even
greater value to its consumers by generating reports more quickly
through analyzing incoming streaming data. Concurrently, Soleo's
data scientists recognized the opportunity to fine-tune and
optimize their service in real-time, using the same incoming
streams of data. Soleo soon turned to HDF for real-time, streaming
analytics.
"The ability to stream the data in real-time, and to split up
the streams for multiple use cases offers tremendous value," added
Thorpe. "Having access to the data generated by Soleo services as
they are being used provides us with a great many benefits. Timely
access to reporting information allows us to better optimize our
customers' and partners' accounts. Seeing the results of our data
scientists' A/B tests as they are occurring provides us with the
data to better tune our systems. Also, real-time metrics
acquisition enables our IT department to monitor our system's
performance in a much timelier manner."
"Data is the market currency for modern media companies and the
new insights derived from data allows them to boost customer
loyalty and return on investment," said Sanjay Kumar, general manager of Communications
and Media at Hortonworks. "Soleo is able to gain a competitive
advantage in its industry by extracting value from data in motion
and data at rest with connected data platforms, and we are proud to
be a part of its business success."
