Hortonworks Public Sector Partner of the Year 2018

As this year comes to a close and we look back and reflect, there are many things we at Fierce have to be grateful for. Our company as a whole has grown at an accelerated pace. As our team grows, so does our series of strategic partnerships and this has had a tremendous effect internally and even amongst our greater company and party.

This year we’ve collaborated closely and have had a series of successful engagements with our friends over at Hortonworks and we’re honored to be named
Hortonworks Public Sector Partner of the Year!
