Lingk Announces Automated Flat File Solution To Empower Data Professionals Everywhere With 100X Faster Processing
Published Jul 20, 2022
Lingk’s Cloud Data Integration Platform ends frustration with using spreadsheet tools to transform, aggregate and automate data.
There are now over 750 million Excel users worldwide, and paired with Lingk, users with basic SQL knowledge can automatically turn files into an in-memory database for lightning fast transformation, aggregation and format conversion on datasets of any size.
Advanced spreadsheet users spend at least 20-30 hours a week working in spreadsheets and over 50% of their time processing large and varied datasets. Larger files can make spreadsheet processes prone to failure, max out local CPU resources and shorten the productive life of desktop computers.
“Tools in the market today are not designed for advanced flat file data processing” said Dale McCrory, Chief Product Officer, Lingk. “With Lingk, data professionals everywhere can simply use a SQL recipe with 100x faster processing to end frustrations dealing with limitations of using spreadsheet tools and flat file datasets for business processes and analytics.”
How Lingk Supercharges Big Data Workflows
Lingk recipes enable data professionals familiar with SQL to become data magicians. Lingk eliminates the technical and cost barriers for using big data services everywhere in smarter and more efficient ways. Key benefits include:
Automatically process flat file data across diverse file formats of any size, up to 100x faster, using Lingk’s Apache Spark stateless in-memory SQL recipe engine.
Apply in-memory database technology to perform staging, deduplication, data diff and transformations from varied sources on billions of rows of data — and automatically load data into data warehouses, data lakes and file stores.
Utilize big data processing in the cloud to extend the life of desktop investments and avoid employee downtime upgrading hardware.
Leverage SQL experience in powerful new ways — including flat files, APIs, and integrations.
Manage all data and projects from a web browser with no software to install.
Use existing data visualization tools — like in Excel, BI or Tableau.
Lingk users can choose flat files from common sources — including local files, SFTP and Amazon S3 — and integrate them into SaaS platforms for Sales, Marketing, Customer Services, Finance and IoT. Business rules for the entire process can be scheduled or API triggered for full automation and users can add intelligent flat file events to automatically trigger workflows in tools like Zapier or Slack.
Use big data processing with the Lingk Cloud Data Integration Platform to extend the life of your desktop investment and avoid downtime upgrading hardware.
