The sixth DBTA 100 list spotlights companies that are addressing the evolving demands for hardware, software, and services in the data industry through innovation.
“Today, more than ever, businesses are looking for ways to manage and leverage their information resources to create new opportunities and deliver a real competitive advantage," said Thomas Hogan, Group Publisher at Database Trends and Applications. "A fundamental change is taking place where every business is also moving toward becoming a data business. This list seeks to highlight those companies that have been successful in establishing themselves as unique resources for data professionals and stakeholders."
