Pivotal opens Innovation Centre for Big Data Analytics

Pivotal, in partnership with the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore (IDA), has announced that it has opened the Pivotal Innovation Centre. With a foundation built on Big Data, the Pivotal Innovation Centre is the first lab in the region and the first of its kind to be developed in Asia. This centre will help customers to accelerate delivery of prototypes that prove the feasibility and return on investment of advanced analytics applications and Big Data platform technologies.

The Pivotal Innovation Centre will help fill an immediate need in helping IT organizations accelerate and deliver their increasing number of Big Data Analytics projects.

Melissa Ries, Vice-President & General Manager, APJ, Pivotal, said, “We envision Pivotal’s technology and expertise becoming central to enabling the implementation of successful Big Data Analytics initiatives in the region. We congratulate IDA on their forward thinking and are committed to supporting their efforts in Singapore’s transformation into a strategic Big Data hub. Businesses will now have a space, the infrastructure and the help of Pivotal experts to solve advanced problems through a working proof of concept without the risk of a failed high-cost initiative.”

The Pivotal Innovation Centre will also help meet the emerging demand for analytics professionals by providing training and activities devoted to developing Singapore’s workforce.
Additionally, at the Pivotal Innovation Centre, data scientists will work directly with customers and partners to implement proof of concepts (POCs).
