    <link>https://www.modernanalyst.com/Resources/News/tabid/177/ID/5880/Incorta-Raises-120M-in-Series-D-Funding-Amid-Soaring-Global-Demand-for-Unified-Data-Analytics.aspx</link> 
    <description>New Funding Enables Incorta to Scale Go-to-Market Operations for Delivering its Award-Winning Modern Data Analytics Platform and Further Accelerate Global Expansion

SAN MATEO, CA, 6/23/21 &amp;ndash; Incorta, the Direct Data Platform&amp;trade;, today announced $120 million in Series D funding led by Prysm Capital, with participation from existing investors GV (formerly Google Ventures), Kleiner Perkins, M12 (formerly Microsoft Ventures), Sorenson Capital, Telstra Ventures, Wipro Ventures and Ron Wohl, as well as a credit facility from Silicon Valley Bank. The round also included participation from new investor and strategic partner National Grid Ventures, which aims to accelerate Incorta&amp;rsquo;s expansion in the energy industry. Since Incorta&amp;rsquo;s founding in 2014, the company has raised $195 million in total funding. The latest round of funding will be used to expand go-to-market operations and meet global demand for Incorta&amp;rsquo;s unified data analytics platform.

&amp;ldquo;The unprecedented events of the past year highlight the importance of modern data analytics in today&amp;rsquo;s business environment &amp;ndash; platforms and tools like Incorta that deliver data to users directly without costly systems and processes like data warehousing and ETL severely limiting speed and agility,&amp;rdquo; said Incorta CEO Scott Jones. &amp;ldquo;After hitting a major inflection point in 2020, Incorta is now scaling fast to meet global demand for modern data analytics in the cloud. This funding enables us to scale up while staying true to Incorta&amp;rsquo;s DNA and maintaining our best-in-class innovation, quality and customer obsession. We are also thrilled to welcome Prysm and National Grid to the Incorta family, joining our already world-class investors.&amp;rdquo;

Today&amp;rsquo;s announcement comes at a time of breakout growth and expansion for Incorta, with major milestones and continued investments in product innovation, customer success, and industry partnerships, including:


 Rapid growth in revenue, driven by new and existing customers, with nearly 60% of new revenue growth in the last 12 months coming from organic expansion with existing customers, 14% of which are Fortune 500 companies, including leading global brands in Media and Entertainment, Social, High Tech, eCommerce, and Retail.
 Strategic industry partnerships and product innovation, including partnerships with Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, eCapital and Tableau, as well as the recent launch of Incorta Mobile, the world&amp;rsquo;s first unified data analytics experience for mobile devices. A testament to our commitment to innovation, Incorta was named the 2020 Microsoft Startup Partner of the Year.
 Inclusion in the 2021 Gartner &amp;ldquo;Cool Vendors&amp;rdquo; report for Analytics and Data Science. Incorta&amp;rsquo;s Direct Data Platform was selected for its unique ability to address complex data and analytics challenges by eliminating the need for data modeling, cubes, extraction, transformation and loading (ETL) batch jobs, or optimization.
 Broad industry recognition for Incorta&amp;rsquo;s unified data analytics platform and Direct Data Mapping&amp;trade; technology, with awards and analyst coverage from 451 Research, Dresner, Forrester, Gartner, Ventana and other leading industry research groups.
 Four key executive leadership hires since January 2021, including Scott Jones as CEO, Greg Peters as CCO, Darryl Banks as CRO, and Sheri Kelleher as SVP of People.
 A fast-growing global footprint with offices and partners throughout North America, the Middle East, UK and Japan.


Further accelerating Incorta&amp;rsquo;s growth and expansion is a business and technology landscape where uncertainty and change is the new normal. For companies stuck in outdated data analytics systems and mindsets, it&amp;rsquo;s becoming more difficult to navigate volatility and manage risk &amp;ndash; and these vulnerabilities are becoming impossible to ignore.


 According to a recent IDC study, 70% of CEOs today acknowledge their organization needs to become more data driven and 87% of CXOs say that becoming more agile, integrated and data driven is their #1 priority over the next five years1. IDC also estimates worldwide spending on big data and analytics software will reach $27.3 billion this year2.
 Meanwhile, new research from Ventana Research highlights where companies struggle most with data analytics: 55% of organizations report the most time-consuming task in analytics is preparing the data3. According to Ventana, 25% of organizations combine more than 20 data sources in their data preparation activities and 39% combine more than 104.


Incorta is a unified data analytics platform that enables companies to acquire, enrich, analyze, and act upon business data with unmatched speed, simplicity and insight. Powered by Direct Data Mapping&amp;trade;, Incorta can make tens of billions of rows of data across multiple source databases analytics-ready in a matter of minutes. The platform is built for power users and novices alike, and provides simple, yet powerful tools for individuals and teams to freely explore, enrich, and innovate with data.

&amp;ldquo;With Incorta, we have a single unified platform that helps us move the business forward with data,&amp;rdquo; said a Director of Financial Applications at Comcast. &amp;ldquo;In addition to making existing reports run faster, the platform also gives us the ability to step back and view our data in entirely new ways &amp;ndash; to gain insights rather than just sifting through details. Simply put: Incorta delivers on its promise.&amp;rdquo;

&amp;ldquo;With Incorta, our team can innovate with data in ways that were scarcely imaginable before,&amp;rdquo; said Sunjeev Devulapalli, Business Operations Manager/Sales S&amp;amp;P Transformation Lead at Cisco. &amp;ldquo;We can move fast, try new ideas, self service our data needs, and build creative solutions to operational challenges on a global scale. It&amp;rsquo;s hard to overstate how powerful the Incorta platform is for our team.&amp;rdquo;

Investment firm Prysm Capital, which led this funding round, focuses on growing companies in the technology, consumer and healthcare sectors. It is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs build disruptive, market-leading companies.

&amp;ldquo;Companies have an increasing need to gain insight and make decisions from data with speed and agility, and Incorta provides this mission-critical solution with a differentiated offering,&amp;rdquo; said Muhammad Mian, Co-Founder &amp;amp; Partner at Prysm Capital. &amp;ldquo;Prysm is excited to partner with an exceptional management team to support the growth of a product that is at the intersection of attractive long-term trends: the explosion of data, digital and cloud transformation, and business intelligence modernization.&amp;rdquo;

    <description>SAN MATEO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Incorta, the Direct Data Platform, today announced a partnership with Tableau, the world&amp;rsquo;s leading analytics platform, on a Tableau connector. The new connector will allow thousands of customers to use Tableau as their preferred analytics platform while speeding up complex data workflows with Incorta as their data source system.

Data-informed decision making has never been more important, but without the right tools it can be difficult to make sense of massive data sets and queries. Not only must organizations effectively explore and manage their data, but they need to visualize and then understand it quickly enough to make critical educated decisions. Customers using the Incorta connector for Tableau will speed up their queries for advanced insights due to Incorta&amp;rsquo;s unique approach of Direct Data Mapping&amp;trade; and high performance extraction from any data source.

&amp;ldquo;In today&amp;rsquo;s data-driven world, it&amp;rsquo;s crucial that we arm customers with the tools they need to make informed decisions as quickly as possible,&amp;rdquo; said Brian Matsubara, RVP of Global Technology Alliances at Tableau. &amp;ldquo;With Incorta, our customers will be able to gain fast access to relevant data, speeding up their queries and, in turn, improving their overall data workflow.&amp;rdquo;

Tableau provides curated visual analytics that empower users to make the most of their data. Combined with Incorta&amp;rsquo;s Direct Data PlatformTM&amp;nbsp;as a backend database, users will have a single source of truth for their data, allowing them to harness massive sets of data at lightning speed. The Incorta connector for Tableau will be available in the&amp;nbsp;Tableau Gallery&amp;nbsp;and directly from Incorta. Current Incorta customers can download and use the connector for free. Tableau customers will need to contact Incorta and use Incorta&amp;rsquo;s Direct Data Platform in order to speed up Tableau&amp;rsquo;s query performance.

&amp;ldquo;When teams can visualize their data and then quickly make informed decisions, they are better equipped to maximize the value of that data,&amp;rdquo; said Incorta CEO Scott Jones. &amp;ldquo;Incorta can turbocharge the powerful visualization that Tableau users love with faster compute power for even the most complex data sets.&amp;rdquo;

    <description>NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 24, 2020 &amp;ndash; Greater Nashville Technology Council has announced that the 8th Annual&amp;nbsp;Nashville Analytics Summit, presented by&amp;nbsp;AWS, will be a fully virtual event. The summit has always focused on community building, and at a time when other conferences are being cancelled, the tech council has reaffirmed its commitment to helping the data and analytics community still come together. Going fully virtual will not only protect the health of event attendees and sponsors during the COVID-19 pandemic; it will enable analytics teams from across the country to participate remotely for the first time.&amp;nbsp;

&amp;ldquo;Creating an online experience that delivers the same high value as our in-person event has been an exciting challenge,&amp;rdquo; said tech council President and CEO Brian Moyer. &amp;ldquo;People love coming to Music City and we love having them here. But a great thing about going virtual this year is that no matter where you live, you can join the analytics summit without the time and expense of having to travel. As a result, we expect that the mix of event attendees will be even more diverse than usual, which can only add to the shared learning and networking opportunities.&amp;rdquo;

One of America&amp;rsquo;s leading conferences on how to effectively leverage big data and analytics, the 2020 summit will be held on Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 21 and 22, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Central Time. The event will feature more than 60 presentations and workshops on a broad range of data-related topics, plus online networking sessions.&amp;nbsp;

The workshops will provide virtual &amp;ldquo;hands-on&amp;rdquo; learning for attendees wanting to sharpen their skills with leading experts. All presentations will include a live Q&amp;amp;A session with the speaker to ensure more opportunity for real-time engagement. The summit&amp;rsquo;s online guide and mobile app will also enhance connectivity by allowing participants to live chat with other attendees, and schedule video calls with attendees and sponsors for face-to-face interaction.

The 2020 keynote speaker is&amp;nbsp;Hilary Mason, data scientist in residence at leading Silicon Valley venture capital firm&amp;nbsp;Accel Partners. Mason will draw from her rich experience to provide insights on the challenges and rewards of working with big data combined with machine learning.

Other&amp;nbsp;guest speakers&amp;nbsp;will include:


 John Liu, founder and CEO of&amp;nbsp;Intelluron: &amp;ldquo;Explainable AI: An Introduction to Causal Machine Learning&amp;rdquo; &amp;nbsp;

 Ujjwal Ratan, principal AI/machine learning solutions architect, healthcare and life sciences, at&amp;nbsp;AWS: &amp;ldquo;The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Clinician Efficiency&amp;rdquo;
 Heather Whiteman, lecturer at UC Berkeley&amp;rsquo;s&amp;nbsp;Haas School of Business: &amp;ldquo;People Science: Using Data to Understand People at Work&amp;rdquo; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;
 Kenneth Graham, senior research engineer at&amp;nbsp;Digital Reasoning: &amp;ldquo;Digital Reasoning and Adversarial Machine Learning: How to Attack and Defend Models&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;


The summit was created in 2013 by Greater Nashville Technology Council members and continues to grow each year. The 2019 event welcomed 822 attendees, of whom 55% were manager level and above. In 2020, the event is being produced by the tech council in partnership with&amp;nbsp;Tennessee HIMMS.&amp;nbsp;

&amp;ldquo;Now more than ever during the pandemic, the analytics summit is important for learning and community building between data and analytics professionals,&amp;rdquo; said planning committee chair Dan George. &amp;ldquo;If you manage a group, the summit presents a great opportunity to level up your understanding from experts and improve your competitive edge.&amp;rdquo;

    <title>Juice Analytics Offers Free Access to Data Reporting Platform “Juicebox” in Beta</title>

    <description>Juice Analytics, a Nashville-based data visualization company, has&amp;nbsp;announced the launch of the beta program for&amp;nbsp;Juicebox, an innovative SaaS platform for interactive data reporting. Juicebox is an easy-to-use tool for business users to turn static spreadsheets into attractive, interactive reports that guide audiences to action.

The new beta version of Juicebox now enables any user to create sophisticated reports that previously could only be created by Juice Analytics&amp;rsquo; team of developers. Clients for whom Juice Analytics has produced reports include&amp;nbsp;Accenture,&amp;nbsp;Aetna,&amp;nbsp;HealthStream&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;University of Notre Dame.

&amp;ldquo;We&amp;rsquo;re excited to make Juicebox more accessible than ever through the launch of our self-service platform,&amp;rdquo; said Zach Gemignani, Juice Analytics co-founder and CEO. &amp;ldquo;People who work with data realize it&amp;rsquo;s critical to translate that data into a form that gets used, so their hard work isn&amp;rsquo;t wasted. We&amp;rsquo;re providing a lightweight alternative to complex dashboarding tools, spreadsheets and PowerPoint. People don&amp;rsquo;t need to settle for flat, boring and ineffective data communication.&amp;rdquo;

People-friendly data reporting made easy, Juicebox allows anyone to create beautiful, modern web-based reports in just minutes. The point-and-click technology quickly turns raw data into interactive data storytelling that can then be shared with internal audiences, customers or through publicly-available websites. Delivering premium design without requiring a company to hire designers or developers, Juicebox is a powerful tool for non-technical business users. The platform scales with enterprise-grade capabilities to manage user permissions, integrate live data sources, and embed in existing sites.&amp;nbsp;

Among the first to get a look at Juicebox has been Cathy Graper, vice president of applications solutions for Keller Schroeder, a technology company in the performance improvement business.

&amp;ldquo;After three decades of working with global enterprises on strategic projects, I have consumed and produced my fair share of reports and dashboards,&amp;rdquo; said Graper. &amp;ldquo;None of the tools used data to tell a story like Juicebox, and none of the reports produced such actionable insights. Juicebox is unique in how it empowers information workers to tell data stories that invoke action. The interactive stories give legs to facts. If you want your reports to ultimately produce results, Juicebox is the right solution.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;

A recognized leader in data storytelling, Juice Analytics was founded in 2005 by brothers Zach and Chris Gemignani, who share a passion for data and design. They identified a gap in the marketplace for solutions to help organizations deliver the &amp;ldquo;last mile&amp;rdquo; in data, reaching decision-makers with insights they can act on.

&amp;ldquo;Our first group of beta users will receive complimentary access for the duration of the beta period,&amp;rdquo; added Zach Gemignani. &amp;ldquo;We look forward to receiving their feedback to help us make Juicebox even better before we open up to the public.&amp;ldquo;

Organizations can pre-register to join the beta program at&amp;nbsp;www.juiceanalytics.com/juicebox. Sample interactive reports that were produced using Juicebox can be viewed&amp;nbsp;here.
