synopsis

Actian is a data management software and services provider. The company's offerings include a high performance analytic database, a cloud development platform for building event-driven BI applications and a commercial open source relational database.

This On the Radar briefing note follows a simple "ten questions" format, which we designed to provide a concise but thorough overview of a company and its products and services. We use this format to focus on the capability and suitability of small, specialist vendors – to help you build the best possible vendor shortlists when looking to make new technology investments.
