Kick AaaS breaks down data silos and unleashes the power of data

NEW YORK, May 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ - (Love Your Data Conference) - Pythian, a global technology services company that helps businesses adopt disruptive technologies to better compete, today announced the launch of "Kick Analytics As A Service" (Kick AaaS), a customized analytics solution that integrates multiple data types from both internal and external sources, empowering businesses to access insights and derive value from their data.

Pythian's Kick AaaS gathers multi-source, multi-format data together in the cloud, and adds advanced analytics, machine learning and visualizations to ensure business users and business systems get the insights they need when they need them.

Customized packages range from business and technical consulting through to a fully-managed, end-to-end solution that turns data into business value. Pythian's white glove approach ensures results are always fully aligned with each client's unique business goals. The services combine the latest technologies (such as cloud, analytics, automation and machine learning) and business-savvy expertise to deliver insights, automate processes and enhance products. Pythian's certified cloud, big data and analytics experts help clients at every stage of their data journey - from adopting a scalable platform to housing big data assets, to predicting outcomes through advanced analytics.

"Helping companies derive value from their data is the logical next step in Pythian's evolution as a data company," said Lynda Partner, Vice President of Marketing at Pythian and executive sponsor of the company's Data Enablement initiative. "For 20 years we've been helping businesses improve the performance of their revenue-generating data systems, so it makes sense to now turn our expertise to helping companies monetize their data," she added.

Kick AaaS reaches users beyond the IT teams who would normally be involved with outsourcing IT services. There's a growing need for business users to access more data to make better decisions, predict outcomes through advanced data modeling, and to incorporate learning from big data analytics to make smarter products.

Pythian's agile approach to analytics means that clients get value from multiple sources of data within weeks. Its cloud-native architecture means instant scalability with costs aligned to usage, not physical infrastructure. The fully managed solution frees up IT to focus on other strategic initiatives while Pythian takes care of both the platform and the data, helping the business turn data into value.

Kick AaaS runs on Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure and Amazon Web Services.
