Datawatch and MarkLogic Announce a Global Strategic Alliance to Deliver Next Generation Visualization Solutions for Big Data Environments

-- Partnership Delivers Real-Time Visual Data Discovery Solutions for NoSQL Big Data Environments

CHELMSFORD, Massachusetts and SAN CARLOS, California, Feb. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Datawatch Corporation (NASDAQ-CM: DWCH), a leading provider of visual data discovery solutions, today announced a new global strategic alliance with MarkLogic Corporation, the leading Enterprise NoSQL database platform. The combination of technologies created by this partnership for the first time enables the value of all enterprise data–including streaming real-time sources–to be exploited. With it, organizations can store, access and visualize massive amounts of data, from any source and in any format, in order to make better informed business decisions and create scalable, new generation applications to drive revenue, streamline operations, and mitigate risk.

The initial focus of the partnership will be in the areas of financial services, public sector, healthcare and energy. These industries are on the leading edge of using non-traditional sources of data to gain a 360 degree view of their business. These new jointly developed solutions will transform how information is leveraged within enterprises, enabling a broad-base of self-service business users to create their own personal perspectives on all data–structured and unstructured, stored and streamed, and from inside and outside the organization. 

Michael Morrison, president and chief executive officer of Datawatch said, "In this new era of Big Data computing, it's critical that companies look to every source of information–structured, unstructured, and streaming real-time sources–to optimize the performance of their business. In order to deliver these capabilities it is critical for industry leaders like Datawatch and MarkLogic to combine the power of their platforms to deliver next generation analytical solutions. We believe that this partnership will be a transformative event for our customers and the industry overall."

"As Big Data evolves and enterprises begin to seek ways to monetize all of their data assets, they are finding that relational database technologies can't keep pace with the needs of today's business requirements," said Gary Bloom, president and chief executive officer, MarkLogic. "By combining MarkLogic's Enterprise NoSQL database and Datawatch's real-time visual data discovery technology, we deliver new opportunities for organizations to turn massive amounts of data, in any structure, streaming at real-time velocity, into valuable and actionable information that can be used for competitive differentiation and better decisions."

Datawatch and MarkLogic are working together to establish a dedicated Center of Excellence that will showcase the value of solutions developed as part of this partnership and to highlight the unique differentiation of these solutions from traditional analytical approaches.  For more information about Datawatch please visit our website at www.datawatch.com or to learn more about MarkLogic connect to www.marklogic.com.
