K2View Gets High Marks with Gartner x 3 

1. Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools 2023 

In its 2023 report, Gartner highlighted 3 strategic strengths for K2View:

• Entity-based approach to data integration
  “K2view offers a unique, patented approach to integrating and organizing data by business entities, such as customer, product, and order. Data for each individual business entity (e.g., a specific customer or a specific product) is unified and managed as its own Micro-Database™ (internally stored in Apache Cassandra, AWS S3 or Azure Blob Storage). The K2view platform manages millions of Micro-Databases with near-real-time data movement, including the ability to apply in-flight data transformations. Authorized consumers access Micro-Databases via web service APIs, messaging, CDC, or streaming."

• Data product delivery at scale
  “K2view positions its platform as a data product platform for managing the full life cycle of data products, including design, integrate, store, catalog, govern and monitor data products. Its data product approach fosters data integration reuse, enabling enterprises to achieve their operational data management use cases, such as customer 360, data pipelining, synthetic data generation, test data management, and fraud detection.”

• End-to-end deployment focus 
  “The K2view platform offers several capabilities, including the ability to design, load and operate Micro-Databases and manage master data, multidimensional golden records, hierarchical data, entity matching rules, data classification, governance and exception-handling interfaces. These capabilities are good enough for enterprises looking to kick-off their MDM or customer data hub programs.”
