July 7, 2015, — Delivering the future of analytics, Pentaho, a Hitachi Data Systems company, today announced a global OEM agreement with CSC (NYSE: CSC). As the first integrated ETL tool for the CSC Big Data Platform as a Service (BD PaaS), enterprise customers can now automate the data orchestration and integration process, to focus their energy on the analytics, insights and predictive modeling required to gain a competitive advantage.

"Pentaho as part of the CSC BD PaaS offering, with both commercial and technical integration, expands the CSC Big Data offering to our enterprise customers," said Eddie Satterly, Chief Technology Officer, Emerging Business Group, CSC. "Pentaho’s deep expertise in data orchestration and analytics at an enterprise-level is the perfect complement to our existing Cloudera, Datastax, Hortonworks and MongoDB capabilities. Our customers will quickly and easily be able to orchestrate, store and analyze all of their data, through the integration in our BD PaaS offering."

Today, enterprise organizations are increasingly looking to cloud computing as part of the infrastructure to support their big data projects.

Pentaho’s flexible cloud-ready platform tightly integrates with the CSC BD PaaS, enabling enterprise customers to address the three persistent big data enterprise challenges: the need for strong data governance, diverse data blending, and delivery of analytics embedded at the point of impact.

"Pentaho's enterprise cloud strategy fits perfectly with the CSC Big Data Platform as a Service. As enterprises accelerate their adoption of big data and consume it as a service, CSC is well positioned to serve, grow and lead this market with the Big Data as a Service offering," said Eddie White, Executive Vice President, Business Development, Pentaho.
