Zaloni introduces MICA: The Enterprise-Wide Self Service Data Preparation Platform for
Hadoop data lake ______________________Reactive and Anticipated change
Why the change was needed-Data preparation is one of most difficult and most time-
consuming challenges facing users of BI and data discovery tools, as well as data
scientists. The unprecedented growth in multi-structured data has contributed to
greater effort required in preparing the data to support decision-making processes.
Hence, the need of a proper tool was there to addresses this gap. The Mica Platform is a
self-service data preparation platform that enables data cataloging, data discovery, data
curation, interactive and visual data preparation, and collaboration for customers who
want to democratize access to the Hadoop Data Lake.

How effective the change was - Mica 1.0 provides Data Scientists and Business Analysts the
tools they need for interactive and visual data preparation. With Mica, business analysts, data
scientists, and IT teams can collaborate and effectively govern the end-to-end data
management process, using a self-service model, while remaining confident in the quality and
integrity of the data. The Mica 1.0 Platform sits on top of Zalonis Bedrock Data Management
Platform. Mica leverages Bedrock for data organization, metadata management, and execution
of transformation logic on the Hadoop cluster. Once rules have been established within
Bedrock, those same rules apply to how data are governed and managed within Mica. Business
users work within an easy-to-use interface to bring new data into the Bedrock Data
Management Platform, or to shape and refine data that already exist within Bedrock. Business
users have greater access. By reducing the time spent on data preparation tasks, the time to
data analytics and actionable insight is dramatically reduced.
