Cirro's mission is to bring "big data to the desktop" to make it easy for users to explore data and create data mash-ups encompassing Hadoop, traditional relational data, and other No SQL sources without the challenges of having to determine how and where to execute queries or dealing with multiple languages and syntax.

These projects include data exploration without having to preprocess or stage data, combining unstructured survey data with customer data, and offloading historical data from data warehouses where Cirro provides seamless access to the data warehouse and Hadoop.
