Why Did Bixo Labs Merge With Scale Unlimited?

During client engagements, we repeatedly saw the need for mentoring and training to ensure a smooth hand-off of projects to internal team members.

In addition, Bixo Labs has already been teaching Hadoop classes under contract with Scale Unlimited.

Given our increased focus on mentoring and training, it made sense for Bixo Labs to acquire and merge with Scale Unlimited, to provide complete consulting solutions that include support for bringing our clients’ internal staff up-to-speed on the open source technologies we use, such as Hadoop, Solr and Cascading.

What Will Change?

The short answer is “Nothing”.

All of our current clients will continue receiving the same support as before, from the same team members.

Longer term, you’ll see more courses on a wider range of topics, offered via our innovative interactive distance learning program.
