About illuminate Solutions, S.L.
illuminate Solutions, headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, is the pioneer of the correlation DBMS (CDBMS) for building data warehouses. By automatically creating a data-generated schema and indexing 100 percent of data during the raw data loading process, a CDBMS nearly eliminates the need for pre-design. A CDBMS data warehouse is compact due to its unique value-based storage™ (VBS) model, which stores each unique data value once. A CDBMS eliminates the trade-off between performance and flexibility that so often frustrates IT and business users alike, and dramatically lowers the time/cost of data warehouse deployment and management.

illuminate’s products: iLuminate, its CDBMS engine, and a full tool suite for data access: iCorrelate, for exploration; and iAnalyze, for light analytics, dashboards and mapping.

illuminate sells exclusively through IT consulting services and management consulting companies in the Americas. In Europe, products are sold direct and through a partner network. European customers include BBVA, Bon Preu Group, ZURICH, infojobs and RORI among others.
