The Big Data 100 2020
The 2020 Big Data 100 is CRN’s annual ranking of the most important big data technology vendors that solution providers should be aware of.
Businesses and organizations are recognizing that big data is one of their most valuable intellectual property assets. Whether its sales and customer experience data, financial data or internal operations data, the ability to derive insights from the huge volumes of data being generated today provides savvy businesses with a significant competitive advantage.
This is generating a growing demand for IT systems and software for processing, managing and analyzing data and getting information and analytical results to the decision makers and information workers who can act on it.
Worldwide revenues for big data and business analytics solutions are expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 13.2 percent over the next several years to reach $274.3 billion in 2022, according to market researcher IDC.
That means solution providers can expect growing demand for big data-related products and services. The winners will be those that can build big data practices and develop expertise around data management and business analysis technologies.
To that end, CRN has developed the Big Data 100, an annual ranking of the most important big data technology vendors that solution providers should be aware of. As with prior years, this eighth edition of the list includes many of the IT industry's biggest vendors and established suppliers of data management and business analytics products. But it also includes a number of startups and young companies with breakthrough technologies that solution providers could offer, providing themselves and their customers with a competitive edge.
This year's list is made up of five big data technology categories: business analytics, database systems, data management and integration tools, big data systems and platforms, and data science and machine learning tools. Slide shows for each category, along with a slide show of the emerging big data vendors across all categories, will be running through the week.
