Waterline Data, a leader in Data Lifecycle Management,announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Waterline Data to its 2017 Big Data 100 list. This annual list recognizes the ingenuity of tech suppliers bringing to market innovative offerings for harnessing the increasingly huge amounts of data generated in today’s digital world, raising the bar for data management and challenging established IT practices.

Businesses are constantly grappling with the exploding volume, speed and variety of information they produce and utilize on a daily basis to remain competitive. Solution providers are on a never-ending quest to tame this big data with innovative tools, technologies and services that can convert it into meaningful, usable statistics.

In response to this challenge, the CRN editorial team has identified the IT vendors at the forefront of data management, business analytics and infrastructure technologies and services. The resulting Big Data 100 list list is a valuable guide for solution providers seeking out key big data technology suppliers.

Waterline Data recently unveiled its latest platform offering, Smart Data Catalog 4.0, which answers fundamental questions that most organizations have regarding data: Where do I find it? Where did it come from? What’s in the data? Who can use the data? With its unique combination of automated data inventorying plus crowdsourcing, Smart Data Catalog 4.0 takes an organization’s existing data and automates the discovery, inventorying and cataloging of all data assets. Waterline’s customers now spend more time using data and less time searching for it. Meanwhile, they’re complying with data regulatory requirements and reducing the costs associated with data redundancy and data hoarding.
