Software DevelopmentCalifornia, United States11-50 Employees
Platfora, based in San Mateo, California, operated in software development as a provider of a platform for discovering and exploring large datasets. The offering aimed to help organizations extract actionable insights from big data, supported by a relatively small, specialized team. In August 2016, Platfora was acquired by Workday, integrating its technology into Workday's broader enterprise software portfolio. Since the acquisition, the company has been part of Workday's expanding data and analytics initiatives, with ongoing efforts to broaden its Data Cloud through partnerships with major cloud providers, including the move to connect the Data Cloud to AWS. Recent news reports indicate Workday has faced lawsuits alleging discrimination or bias in its AI-powered hiring tools.
