The Big Data 100 2019

The 2019 Big Data 100 is CRN's annual ranking of the most important big data technology vendors that solution providers should be aware of.

The warnings are out: Businesses that fail to fully leverage the insights and intelligence that can be found in their ever-growing volumes of data stand to lose a significant competitive advantage to the businesses that do.

So whether it's internal operational data that can be used to improve business processes, financial data that can guide a business' investment strategy, or sales data that can be used to gain a 360-degree view of customers, businesses today are scrambling to implement technology to help them identify, collect, move, transform, manage and analyze the data they need to stay in the competitive game.

Worldwide revenue for big data and business analytics solutions are expected to reach $189.1 billion this year, up 12 percent from 2018, according to a semiannual forecast from International Data Corp. That growth will continue at a CAGR of 13.2 percent over the next five years, reaching $274.3 billion in 2022.

All this spells opportunity for solution providers who can build big data practices and develop expertise around data management and business analytics technologies.

That's why CRN has developed the Big Data 100, an annual ranking of the most important big data technology vendors that solution providers should be aware of. As with prior years, this seventh edition of the list includes many of the IT industry's biggest vendors and established suppliers of data management and business analytics products. But it also includes a number of startups and young companies with breakthrough technologies that solution providers could offer, providing themselves and their customers with a competitive edge.

This year's list is made up of four big data technology categories: big data business analytics, big data management and integration, big data systems and platforms, and data science and machine learning. Slide shows for each category, along with a slide show of the emerging big data vendors across all categories, will be running through the week.
