SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 07/02/13 -- Concurrent, Inc., the enterprise Big Data application platform company, today announced that it has named Paul O'Leary as its vice president of engineering. O'Leary, a seasoned veteran, brings more than 20 years of engineering and senior-level experience to the company behind Cascading™, the most widely used and deployed technology for Big Data applications with more than 75,000+ user downloads a month. His appointment strengthens the Concurrent executive leadership as the company scales to support new growth.

As vice president of engineering, O'Leary is responsible for managing the company's product development.

Cascading provides the most comprehensive application framework for Hadoop. With the addition of Lingual (ANSI SQL) and Pattern (PMML), Cascading bridges the gap and allows enterprises to use existing skills and systems to easily develop and deploy robust applications on Hadoop. The combination of the three (Java, SQL, PMML) completes the application ensemble.
