Executive Summary

Welcome to the Stratecast Frost & Sullivan 2014 Big Data & Analytics Vendor Directory.

The Directory includes more than vendors offering products that range from core database technologies and general-purpose analytic software platforms, to specialized application software targeting narrow technical niches and specific industries. Vendors are organized into solution types that are grouped into the five broad categories.

Within the next years, Stratecast believes that one or more of these solution types will be deployed by every enterprise, large and small. In fact, in May 2014, more than half ( %) of large U.S enterprises already had one or more Big Data & Analytic (BDA) solutions in place, with the rest either implementing or planning to implement.1 Beyond these early adopters, however, are thousands of enterprises, as well as business units within enterprises, whose interest in BDA solutions is growing by the day; but whose basic initial need for a frame of reference and for direction in the BDA market is unmet. The Web offers endless information and commentary from a fragmented universe of sources; but there is no high-level perspective, nor is there a simple starting point for the uninitiated.

The BDA Vendor Directory provides the missing frame of reference, higher-level perspective, and a simple starting point. Buyers and sellers alike will benefit from the Directory.
