NorthBay: The Premier Provider of Big Data Outsourcing Services

“Founded in 2010, NorthBay is widely known as the “Go To” company for organizations seeking to benefit from the new
Cloud-based Big Data/Analytics Paradigm.”

Today’s infinitely expanding universe of data offers great rewards for those companies who can turn data into information – and then turn that information into actionable insight. The challenge is to identify the important factors in order to grow the business or to make the business more efficient and sift through and rapidly extract those nuggets from the sea of information available.

NorthBay, a Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA based consulting company is an expert in Cloud Based Big Data Analytics, Data Warehousing and Cloud BI – most often in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment.

Amazon and its AWS Web Services have a dominant  position in the market.NorthBay is proud to be one of the first companies in the world to earn the AWS Big Data Competency. NorthBay is also reputed to be one of the 3 most accomplished AWS big data partners worldwide.

Case Study
Kitara Media is a leading digital media and technology company providing video solutions to advertisers, digital marketers and publishers.

Multi-dimensional cubes enabling data slicing, segmenting and analysis by Kitara ad trading desks were built in a matter of weeks centralizing data and allowing fact checking and
dimensional analysis.
