Pentaho's extensible data integration and analytics platform, combined with Amazon Redshift’s ability to quickly scale, allowed NASDAQ to build a cloud-based, big data platform that efficiently and cost-effectively transforms and analyzes billions of rows of data every day.

"We are preparing the stock market for the next 100 years, addressing 21st century trading challenges (and beyond) with open and emerging technologies for cloud, business analytics and big data," said Michael Weiss, Senior Developer, NASDAQ. We collect over 10 billion rows of financial information everyday. With Pentaho we can now deliver any type of data with governance and stream it to lines of business and customers in a scalable, collaborative and cost effective way."

"By embedding Pentaho into their application, NASDAQ has created a transparent, standardized data environment that can be commoditized while lowering costs," said Rosanne Saccone, CMO at Pentaho.
