Platfora has signed dozens of new deals in recent months, including notable consumer brands Sears, RiVo, and Kelly Blue Book.<\/p>\n<p>According to the company: &#8220;Platfora is succeeding where the last generation of technology falls short.

Version 5.0 was announced in September, and represent the single most powerful and complete Hadoop and Spark-native analytics platform<\/li>\n<li>Earning industry accolade from leading technology publications, including inclusion in our <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/business-intelligence\/business-intelligence-data-analytics-and-data-mining-solutions-directory\/\" target=\"_blank\">best-of-breed solutions directory<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Platfora&#8217;s CEO Jason Zintak explains: &#8220;I\u2019m very pleased with what Platfora has been able to achieve in a relatively short amount of time. We\u2019re now the leader in this new class of technology.\u00a0No doubt, 2016 will be our best year yet as the value of Platfora is now proven across many industries and the ROI is obvious.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Platfora will use the new investment to enhance the company&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2015\/12\/08\/platfora-scores-30-million-for-big-data-discovery-platform-growth\/\" target=\"_blank\">worldwide market<\/a>, specifically in Asia and Europe.
