LONDON, March 17, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Fusionex, a
multi-award winning software provider specialising in Analytics and
Big Data, and Revolution Analytics, a world-class provider of
enterprise R in the Big Data space, announced a significant
technology partnership to make R-based predictive analytics more
accessible and scalable for enterprises via Fusionex GIANT. This
strategic partnership will see synergistic cross-referrals between
the parties which will increase the exposure to available
clientele. By integrating and combining the production-ready
Revolution R Enterprise programming platform with Fusionex's
flagship Big Data Analytics product (GIANT), organisations will be
able to obtain faster and more accurate predictive analytics whilst
avoiding or reducing the time and cost impacts of the complexity
surrounding 'R' and Big Data.
What is R?
R is world's most widely used statistics programming language.
It's the # 1 choice of data scientists and supported by a vibrant
and talented community of contributors. R is taught in universities
and deployed in mission critical business applications.
How does Enterprise 'R' fit into 'GIANT'?
GIANT's integration with 'R' opens the door to a much wider
audience where GIANT intends to simplify the entire user experience
not only for data scientists familiar with 'R' but also for
end-users who don't have 'R' skills. GIANT will encapsulate
Revolution 'R' and provide last-mile Big Data solutions and
comprehensive advance analytics which will benefit end-customers
and end-users from a cost, ease-of-use and value perspective.
Moving forward, the partnership between Revolution Analytics and
Fusionex will see businesses given the opportunity to utilise
Hadoop and 'Enterprise R' through GIANT, coupled with the requisite
highly scalable processing and distribution capabilities to handle
vast amounts of structured and unstructured data in a user-friendly
manner.
Fusionex's GIANT as well as its expertise in Big Data Analytics
makes it possible to simplify the usage of Hadoop to derive
business value from virtually any Data, transforming data into
useful information and actionable insights. Revolution Analytics' R
Enterprise in turn brings to Fusionex a powerful programming suite
to broaden R adoption for big data analytics.
Via this new partnership, data scientists and users alike will
be able to leverage on the user-friendly environment provided by
Fusionex GIANT to build and derive R-based analytics, with the
scalability of Revolution Analytics' R Enterprise being an asset
towards the partnership.
Both companies view this as a key strategic partnership where
Fusionex will be able to leverage on Revolution Analytics'
comprehensive predictive analytics capabilities, whilst Fusionex's
increasingly strong foothold in the Asia
Pacific and other regions will see Revolution Analytics'
exposure increase significantly. Both companies will expect to see
cross referrals and a wider clientele and this move is a poignant
one, taking place in line with Fusionex's earlier highlighted plans
to establish its partner channel network.
"Modern day businesses are constantly searching for
user-friendly yet powerful advance analytics to improve their
businesses," said Edward
Lim, Fusionex Regional Director for Asia Pacific. "Revolution's 'R' is a
leading, widely recognised statistics and advance analytics
programming platform, and that is why we chose to work with
Revolution. We are thrilled with this newfound Fusionex-Revolution
Analytics partnership, which we are confident will increase the
understanding of the vast capabilities of predictive analytics
among our joint customers. Importantly, we want to simplify the
entire user experience and make this available via GIANT and this
partnership."
"Big Data requires Big Analytics. It is a radically new
way of performing analytics which breaks the legacy methods
[including infrastructure and software] built 40 years ago that
were not meant for Big Data. Revolution R Enterprise (RRE) is a
modern platform based on the popular R language which is considered
to be the standard for analytics today," said
Laurence Liew, GM (APAC), Revolution
Analytics. "Fusionex's regional leadership in Business
Intelligence and Big Data Analytics lends itself as an
excellent partner of Revolution Analytics. We are very excited
with this partnership and are confident that it will
accelerate the adoption of Revolution and Fusionex's
products and solutions in the region."
