Awards recognize Starburst customers, partners and industry visionaries advancing next-generation data applications and architectures

BOSTON, Feb. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Starburst, the analytics anywhere company, today at its third annual Datanova conference announced the recipients of its inaugural Data Rebel Awards! These awards celebrate the best customers, partners, and leaders that embody the spirit of a true "Data Rebel" – those that dare to push the boundaries of what's possible to shape the future of data.

The awards are broken into three divisions: the Starburst Customer Awards (available only to Starburst customers), the Role-Based Awards, sponsored by AWS (open to the public), and the Partner of the Year Awards (available only to Starburst partners).

The customer awards highlight teams leading disruptive data initiatives that are shaping the future of the industry, while the role-based awards recognize individuals for their exceptional contributions and commitment to modern, innovative data strategy. The judging panel consisted of five judges from Starburst's marketing team. The panel independently reviewed and scored anonymized submissions using the following criteria:

  • Achievement: How impactful is the nominee's data strategy and resulting achievements for their organization?
  • Supporting material: How strong is the supporting content, and does it demonstrate clear business outcomes?
  • Innovative practices: Does the nominee leverage innovative methods and cutting-edge technologies to achieve data-driven insights?

Each submission was ranked from 1-10 (for each of the 3 criteria), and the winners were determined by the highest ranking submission for each award category.

Additionally, the Partner of the Year awards were broken down into three categories and scored based on the criteria outlined in each category. Categories include:

  • Consulting partners: Supporting joint customers through their digital transformation with Starburst, from advisory through to deployment and managed services.
  • Technology partners: Providing industry leading product offerings, extensibility, connectivity and optionality to our customers' analytics stack.
  • Cloud partners: Helping deliver customer focused solutions, an easy procurement experience and support to our field in our customer and prospect engagements.

"The ability to effectively maximize the value of your data is almost entirely dependent on the data architecture, which is why Starburst's inaugural Data Rebels Awards are recognizing the companies and individuals driving the data analytics industry forward," said Jess Iandiorio, CMO, Starburst. "As the fastest analytics engine for a data lake, data warehouse or data mesh, Starburst powers the next-generation data architectures of this year's award winners."
