Saama, founded in 1997 and a provider of Big Data solutions and service announced that they have raised $35 million in Series A founding round. The funding was done by Carrick Capital Partners, an investment company which focuses on technology - enabled - service based businesses. The highlight being is that this has been Saama's first institutional capital since its inception. This financing will be projected towards addressing the demand for Global 2000 companies for deployment of industry specific analytics solutions.

Delivering to this need has powered our growth to date," says Suresh Katta, CEO of Saama.

Through its combination of Fluid Analytics Engine, Ready Analytics solutions, services and strategic partnerships, Saama leverages its customers with the ability to operate data and deploy pre-integrated analytics solutions across their operations. Via this, Saama's customers stay focused on their core business while monetizing data as key strategic asset.
