SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
April 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
Hortonworks®,(NADSAQ:HDP) the leading contributor to and
provider of enterprise Apache™ Hadoop®, today announced an
expansion of the Hortonworks Systems Integrator Partner Program to
further accelerate global adoption of the Hortonworks Data
Platform. The expanded program includes advanced online training
systems for partners and more extensive certification requirements
for ensuring an exceptional quality of service delivered to
enterprises implementing Hadoop-based solutions.
Accenture, the global management consulting, technology services
and outsourcing company, is the first global systems integrator to
join Hortonworks' Systems Integrator Partner Program at the
Platinum level.
"Partners are an absolutely essential element for achieving
enterprise pervasiveness of Hadoop across all vertical industries,"
said Herb Cunitz, president at
Hortonworks. "We have seen massive growth in the demand for
trusted, expert Hadoop services on a global basis. The program
enhancements will better prepare new and existing systems
integrators to consult, implement and install Hortonworks Data
Platform solutions to ensure that enterprises achieve their
business objectives."
The Hortonworks Systems Integrator Partner Program has been
expanded to include Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze level
partners, each with defined certification requirements for service
delivery staff. Enterprises can now more easily identify partners
that meet their specific criteria and be assured that these
partners have the depth of technical expertise necessary to ensure
success for their big data projects.
Accenture Analytics, part of Accenture Digital, has been
collaborating with Hortonworks to help businesses manage big data
since 2012 and established a formal alliance relationship with
Hortonworks in July 2014. Joining the partner program extends
the collaborative commitment by both companies to make big data and
analytics more accessible to organizations for insight-driven
decision-making and outcomes.
"Data is a differentiator today and the companies that apply
analytics to all of their data to make insight-driven decisions are
better positioned to defend, differentiate and disrupt their
markets," said Narendra Mulani,
senior managing director, Accenture Analytics. "To support
businesses on their end-to-end analytics and digital transformation
journeys, we are participating in the Hortonworks Systems
Integrator Partner Program to deliver key capabilities needed to
turn data into an asset, further driving insight-driven outcomes at
scale for companies across industries and around the globe."
As part of the program expansion, all Hortonworks Systems
Integrator partners now have access to an extensive library of
online training, specialized solution-based workshops and technical
boot camps in order to accelerate and improve the Hadoop
educational process for service delivery professionals.
