GoDataDriven Offers Big Data Consultancy And Training

GoDataDriven is a very young and new big data startup that was started in April 2013. It was founded as a spin off from Xebia Netherlands, who is also the investor behind the company. Their objective is to help organisations create end-to-end data driven solutions. They do not have an off-the-shelf product that clients can implement, but they are more a big data service provider offering a wide range of solutions that can be tailor made to the needs of the company.

Their consultancy focuses on big data warehousing and especially NoSQL (Hadoop, Neo4J and Cassandra). In addition they can help organisations with scalable big data ETL solutions as well as high volume web analytics, complex event processing and network analysis exploration.

Next to that they deliver training for organisations to become independent of consultancies for Hadoop and Big Data solutions. GoDataDriven is a Dutch company and they are the only Cloudera training partner in The Netherlands.

Because it is such a young company it is unclear how they will perform in the future. The fact that they are a spin-off from the well-known Dutch big data company Xebia does give an indication that they should have what it takes to become successful in the field of big data in The Netherlands. There is however still a lot unclear, they do not have a patented solution and it is therefore questionable how scalable their business is, knowing the shortage in big data scientists in The Netherlands. We therefore give them a 4 bits rating.
