"Being named as one of the top platforms in an increasingly competitive field is a high honor," said Steve Millard, Kognitio president and chief executive officer. "As more companies discover the value of True In-MemorySM for advanced analytics and data science, they understand what Kognitio brings to the table. This greater awareness has led to increased sales, as organizations leverage our platform to take their Big Data projects off the drawing board and into production." Millard noted that Kognitio has recorded double-digit year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter sales growth, demonstrating growing market presence.
