Explorys received this award during the Strata+Hadoop World 2013 event in NYC on October 28th.
Presented by Cloudera, the leader in enterprise analytic data management powered by Apache Hadoop™, this award program recognizes innovative Hadoop applications that are driving major advancements across industry verticals.

With Explorys’ cloud-based platform, providers are able to view a clear picture of population health trends and use that information to treat their individual patients with better care that is more thoughtful and proactive.
“We established the Data Impact Award program to recognize organizations that are using Hadoop-based technology to make a difference in their respective industries,” said Mike Olson, Chief Strategy Officer and Chairman of the Board, Cloudera. “We received an overwhelming number of nominations, making this a competitive and tough decision, but after spending a considerable amount of time and effort researching each nominee, we are excited to present this ‘Social Impact’ award to Explorys for the company’s innovative work in population health management.”
