Matthew Scullion, Matillion CEO said that the company will use the funds in tapping a still largely untapped market opportunity, the enterprise segment. Further, he said that the funds will be invested in the company’s growth to support customers of the enterprise sector and their cloud-data projects. Moreover, it will also be used in accelerating and innovating the capabilities of the platform itself. The company also plans on developing and launching new features and products that increase overall productivity, he said.
Scullion said that there is a huge market for cloud data integration platforms for mid-sized companies, and that’s what they do. The addressable market for data integration is worth £2.23 billion. The growth in this demand comes from, among other factors, cloud migration. The firm helps enterprises in this space that want to move to the cloud and require insights faster using the data within their organisation itself, Scullion says.
