The two-year-old firm, which , in Shoreditch – aims to help companies establish a big data strategy before suggesting the best technologies to execute it and training staff, should they need it. It claims that it is assisting blue chip companies across multiple industries to find scalable and reliable technologies to capture, store and analyse big data that can help to solve problems and identify new revenue streams.
The company said it wants to expand deeper into Europe and double the size of its team to around 50-70 employees over the next year.
Jobi George, director of big data software product & channels for Intel’s datacentre software division, said: “Companies such as Big Data Partnership are well equipped to deploy the Intel Distribution in Europe and add a new layer of support for Apache software integration.�?
“As we expand the adoption of the Intel Distribution into new global markets, partnerships with knowledgeable and experienced companies will be strategic to our growth.�?
BDP also supplies technology products from: IBM, HortonWorks, Datastax, MapR and Microsoft.
