One of the biggest challenge being witnessed in any analytical exercise is preparation of required data in the scheduled time. There is growing a need to bring together structured and unstructured data sets from internal and external sources after sorting out the duplicate data or blank fields while adding additional data to provide more context. The speed at which data is being generated along with all the Business Intelligence and Analytics tools, organizations are wasting every minute on trying to prepare and clean the data. Paxata eliminates this pain by offering a data preparation platform-built from the ground upto meet the demands of teams' in order to increase their analytic productivity on ever-increasing data volumes, while reducing risk of data chaos and gaining greater value from it all. "We defined a comprehensive platform that brings together rich data integration and data quality capabilities, along with enrichment, collaboration, and transparent governance," says Prakash Nanduri, CEO of Paxata.

The company's data preparation solution sits on top of an enterprisescale platform built on Hadoop, and powered by Spark-Apache Software Foundation. The platform offers cloud customers benefits like unique data prep elasticity, security, responsiveness, and flexibility while on-premise customers can integrate Paxata into their shared-services Hadoop and non-Hadoop environment with nominal effort and gain maximum time to value. Regardless of which deployment model is required, all customers get the benefits of Adaptive Data Preparation solution. The platform helps business analysts turn raw data into actionable information that need insights, making it easier and faster to arrange data for analysis. Business analysts can securely add, clean, explore, shape or enrich data to obtain meaningful AnswerSets, which fuel data exploration, discovery, and analytics.

Paxata detects combinable data across diverse data sets automatically using IntelliFusion-semantic fusion and machine-learning engine. "We apply proprietary algorithms to the linguistic content of both structured and unstructured data, which enables Paxata to automatically build a comprehensive and flexible data model in the form of a graph, reflecting similarities and associations among data items," adds Nanduri. "The system uses associations between the data to detect and resolve both syntactic and semantic data-quality issues, rapidly improving the quality of large data sets." As analysts add more data sources, the Paxata system leverages the expanded associations among the data to further improve the quality of the data.

The producer of U.S. and Puerto Rico based yogurt brand knew they needed to identify and determine the pain points in the manufacturing and distribution chain in order to streamline operations and drive a huge increase in revenue. The issue was that the data recording transit times resided in at least six different SAP systems, multiple business units and with several trading partners. The company began using Paxata's Adaptive Data Preparation platform that empowered business analysts to dynamically collect, explore, transform and combine multiple datasets, reducing the time needed to ready raw data for analysis. Going forward, the client plans to standardize on Paxata's Adaptive Data Preparation platform across U.S. as part of the CIO's "Bring your Own BI" strategy.

The company is home to some of the best engineers with agile development skills, domain strength in UX design, next-generation data architecture, and scalable software delivery.
