Customer Growth in APJ Explodes As Data Industry Grows 27.8% in the Region

�In 2020, the data and analytics (D&A) software market grew at 13%, reaching $99 billion in U.S. dollars, adding $11 billion to the software market overall,� according to Gartner� Research, Market Share: Data and Analytics Software, Worldwide, 2020.

As demand for cloud data engineering surges, Trifacta answers the call for innovative solutions to quickly and accurately prepare, profile and pipeline data. Since creating a permanent presence in APJ, Trifacta has added prominent customers, including SMBC, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Stats N.Z., Canopy, and DataTribe, among others.

Dataprep by Trifacta, the company�s long-time OEM partnership with Google Cloud, has proven to be popular in the region. One customer is Australia-based My Muscle Chef, a meal delivery service focused on fresh, clean, convenient high-protein meals.

�At My Muscle Chef, we wanted to streamline our transactional data as we continued to grow. This meant improving cost efficiency and eliminating waste. Google Cloud Dataprep by Trifacta was the right choice for us,� said Ashleigh Gardiner, Head of Data & Measurement, My Muscle Chef. �Dataprep accelerated the data wrangling and pipeline creation process with real-time visual results and profiling to help deliver higher quality data and much faster time-to-insight while eliminating the need for a high-level of coding skills.�

Trifacta Adds New Leadership to Drive Expansion in Singapore and India

To drive the continued expansion and support the influx of customers, Trifacta appointed Quoc Tran as the company�s first Vice President of the APJ region. Tran brings over two decades of experience in data and SaaS companies, including leading the APJ expansion of Vontu, a leader in data loss prevention that Symantec later acquired. Tran has deep knowledge of data wrangling and data engineering, with more than seven years leading Trifacta�s global sales engineering organization before becoming an executive. Tran holds an S.B. in Mechanical Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Continued investment in this region will be key for our continued innovation, and we are excited to bring on new team members across all departments and locations.�

Adding Investments and Key Partnerships Leads to Regional Growth

As part of the expansion into APJ, Trifacta previously added investment help from Telstra Ventures, NTT Docomo Ventures, and Infosys.

�Telstra Ventures is pleased to invest in Trifacta�s growth in the Asia Pacific region. To be competitive in the pace of industry today, businesses must be able to make data-driven decisions and accurately and quickly prepare, profile, and pipeline data,� said Gurpreet Ghuliani, Operating Partner, Telstra Ventures. �Trifacta is a clear leader in this cloud data engineering space, and we are excited to be part of the crucial growth in this region and beyond.�

�It is exciting to see Trifacta�s expansion into India and the launch of its India R&D Center � a sign of its already successful growth and leadership,� said Deepak Padaki, Executive Vice President - Strategy, at Infosys, an early investor in Trifacta. �We leverage Trifacta�s differentiated data engineering solutions to help our global clients explore their data in an efficient and scalable way.�

Additionally, Trifacta has created partnerships with NEC and NRI, both leading system integrators in Japan. Trifacta established distributor partnerships with Hankook Trifacta Pte. Ltd., in Korea, and other key Google Cloud resellers in the region like Devoteam and Brillar.io.

APJ Product Enhancements and Expanded Support Options Ensure Global Reach
