Panoply sits on the single point of convergence between machine learning and traditional data management and storage technologies. The company’s ability to automate data warehouses and data lakes enables enterprises to focus on business concerns without having to invest enormous amounts of time and capital on expensive DevOps resources traditionally required for data management. The Panoply Smart Data Warehouse leverages natural language processing, machine learning query optimization and automated elastic storage and CPU scaling to accelerate and simplify the entire data journey.
Panoply also bolstered its senior management team with the appointment of Michael Canon as vice president of worldwide sales, and Paul Friesen as vice president of marketing.

- Friesen previously served as vice president of marketing for Algolia and head of marketing for Atlassian before joining Panoply. He has additional experience with Intel and with two of his own product marketing companies.
