Blazent Launches First Data Intelligence Platform With Data Evolution Process To Deliver True Data Quality & Actionable InsightsBURLINGAME, Calif., June 24, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Blazent, the leader in IT data intelligence, today launched the first big data platform targeted specifically at the problem of inaccurate and incomplete data within IT. The Blazent Data Intelligence Platform can transform enterprise data from hundreds of disparate IT datastores into a single foundation of quality data that IT leaders can count on to optimize the operational and financial performance of IT, and manage risk within their environments. In an era of increasing complexity and data volume, a typical IT environment is comprised of massive amounts of siloed, incomplete and inaccurate data, resulting in upwards of 40 percent poor data quality and little to no context or visibility for confident decision-making. This data accuracy problem leaves organizations more vulnerable to operational risks that lead to more service outages and increased time to resolution, and data governance challenges that lead to audit pressure and inefficient IT spending. The Blazent Data Intelligence Platform solves these problems by leveraging a new big data engine and a 5-step data evolution process to ensure that, for the first time, IT organizations and service providers have the needed "master source of truth" to fuel IT agility. "Data quality is a fundamental issue plaguing today's increasingly heterogeneous and disjointed IT environments," said Gary Oliver, Chief Executive Officer of Blazent. "Poor IT data quality is the reason that 40 percent of all IT projects fail to achieve targeted benefits, and 30 percent of servers are underutilized, and in many cases, not backed up or secure – leaving organizations challenged in managing risk, providing effective operations and controlling costs. These are the types of business-critical issues that guided us in creating the Data Intelligence Platform, encapsulating 13 years of experience in Master Data Management, Data Governance and Service Management." Data Evolution Process and Big Data Engine A Gartner report, Answering Big Data's 10 Biggest Vision and Strategy Questions, published August 2014, validates the problem. "Information (even big data) without insight is an unrealized resource. Conversely, analytics without a solid information foundation is likely to lead to poor decisions. Big data analytics, therefore, is the application of analytic capabilities (descriptive, diagnostic, predictive and prescriptive) on enormous, varied or rapidly changing datasets."

"Blazent has diligently remained at the forefront of the world's largest data-intensive environments, and this release marks the evolution of our technology with our formal entry into big data analytics," said Michael Ludwig, Chief Product Architect at Blazent. "The Blazent Data Intelligence Platform builds upon our customer-proven solutions with a powerful, new big data engine and data process guaranteed to transform data intelligence into business results." SUPPORTING QUOTES "When I started working with the Blazent technology years ago, big data wasn't a buzzword. However, the problem was very real and their solution was then, and still is, like nothing else on the market," said Colin Bottomley, Global Account General Manager at CSC. "Blazent's comprehensive view across our entire IT environment enabled us to eliminate the limitations of existing IT service management tools as well as maximize our revenue stream and minimize security exposure for our client. It remains a trusted source of IT data, and the ultimate source of truth for our organization and customers." About Blazent Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20150601/219945LOGO
