PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Cloudera, Inc.
(NYSE: CLDR), the modern platform for machine learning and
analytics optimized for the cloud, announced finalists for this
year's Data Impact Awards. In its fifth year, the awards program
increased by 65 percent in number of nominations from 2016. The
Data Impact Awards recognize the leading organizations that are
running Cloudera Enterprise in a production environment, resulting
in innovations that demonstrate the biggest impacts to technology,
science, health, lifestyle, and community across a wide variety of
industries. The winners will be announced at the annual Data Impact
Awards Celebration on Tuesday, 26th September in tandem with Strata
Data 2017, New York.
Finalists were selected by a panel of third-party thought
leaders in the data management and analytics space, from executives
and industry analysts to professors and media experts.
"It's clear from the entries for the Data Impact Awards that
real companies are delivering meaningful transformation with
advanced data processing solutions across all industries," said
first-year judge, Maribel Lopez, founder of Lopez Research.
"The entrants are improving operational efficiencies, but also
delivering new business models such as 'as-a-service'
offerings."
"The caliber and sheer diversity of use cases made it more
challenging than ever to choose winners this year," said
fourth-year judge, Tony Baer, principal analyst at Ovum. "The
breadth of the candidate pool revealed just how far enterprises in
sectors outside classic early adopters have matured in their
understanding of big data and harnessing the power of the

the Data Impact Awards really lived up to their name this
year."
