Exhibit A
“According to IDC, the worldwide market for big data and analytics software represented approximately $49 billion in 2016 and is expected to grow to approximately $81 billion in 2021. Within the broader big data and analytics software market, our solutions currently address the business intelligence and analytic tools, analytic data integration and spatial information analysis markets, which collectively represented approximately $19 billion in 2016 and are expected to grow to approximately $29 billion in 2021.”
“According to a separate IDC study that we commissioned, an estimated 21 million spreadsheet users worldwide will work on advanced data preparation and analytics in 2016.”
“In the same study, IDC estimated that over 80% of spreadsheet users are using manual copy and paste methods to acquire data. The IDC study also estimated that in the United States alone, there is a cost to companies of approximately $60 billion per year associated with time spent by data workers repeating processes when data sources are updated.”
“The amount of data and diversity of its type, format, and source location are rapidly increasing. Based on the IDC Data Age 2025 white paper, sponsored by Seagate and published in April 2017, IDC estimates that the global datasphere will grow to 163 trillion gigabytes by 2025.”
