Partnering with Saffron

We’re hearing it every day:  Customers want better, more advanced analytic capabilities.

Customers are telling us they want to unify and apply advanced data analytics to  disparate data sources –– semantic web, enterprise data, sensor data, structured and unstructured data, for example –– to improve business decisions and results.

It’s music to our ears because that’s what our associative memory technology does: We provide “beyond BI” capabilities, in a single tool, for sense-making and decision support.  We can help our customers make better sense of things and make better decisions because we expose all the relevant experiences –– connections, similarities, prior outcomes for example –– across all the data in real time.

We believe disruptive technology moves in packs and adoption moves quickly when it occurs. So we need to move quickly too.  That’s why last week, as part of our strategic plan to bring the analytic power and value of Saffron 8 to new markets, we announced Saffron’s Natural Intelligence Network for partners.

The Saffron Natural Intelligence Network will deliver finished, ready-to-use apps to our customers.  Our partners will bring their rich domain and customer experience to create industry specific, customer specific advanced analytics using SaffronMemoryBase.  We know that Saffron’s horizontal technology alone cannot accomplish this without a strong network of partners. Saffron partners will focus on integrating Saffron with their platforms or potentially creating new solutions that elevate a customer’s analytic platform. These apps will combine the nonstop, streaming data analytics advantages of Saffron’s associative memory technology with our partners’ core offerings.

This past week we met with a new partner in the data visualization space.  This partnership (to be announced soon) is a great example of the speed and agility with which we can integrate complementary technologies to provide customers new, advanced analytics for sense making.  In one weekend, initial integrations were done. Together, we have some great ideas that we can bring to market quickly. We’ll announce our first integrated solution with this partner later this month.

Saffron 8 is ready.  Saffron Sierra is ready .  And we are accelerating additions to our Partner program as we think the customer is ready too.

One more thing, all Partners automatically receive 80 hours of free access to our Sierra environment for integration development work. Joint solution demonstrations and presentations will also be hosted by Saffron on Sierra.  We can get a lot done in 80 hours. Let us know if you’d like a briefing on our Saffron and our Partner program.
