Furthermore, at one of the proof of concepts the Infoworks product was able to ingest more than 40 data sources, build six data warehouses and cubes in less than two days - a feat could take several months using traditional methods.

With the Infoworks DDW platform’s proven capability to rapidly build a modernized data warehouse on Hadoop; he plans to expand his company and bring the solution to more enterprises faster.
