SourceThought provides automated data shaping that lets an analyst ingest, cleanse, join and restructure data on Hadoop without ETL or programming. Disparate data is automatically combined and shaped into the requested format. It is made available within your current tools to enable discovery, analysis, modeling or warehousing. Imagine the impact when the information you want in the format you need is available with little effort or cost. The primary bottleneck to innovation and insight is getting the right information into the right shape. Today teams of analysts, engineers and ETL specialists take weeks or months building processes to prepare data for analysis. The size and inconsistency of big data creates an even bigger bottleneck. SourceThought eliminates this bottleneck. Data is ingested into Hadoop in raw form from databases, files or cloud services. It is profiled to analyze its content, structure and semantics. It is cleansed, integrated and restructured automatically to match the desired format. SourceThought’s visual workspace automatically shapes data to support discovery, analysis, modeling or warehousing. SourceThought makes data usable quickly and easily at a fraction of the cost. SourceThought is backed by Frost Data Capital, an incubator and investment fund focused on big data innovation.
