“Kinney Group is honored to have had the opportunity to support Sam Schmidt and his team during the Indianapolis 500,” said Jim Kinney, President and CEO, Kinney Group. “We are continuously looking for creative ways to utilize the Splunk platform to harness the power of data analytics to give our customers an unfair advantage.”
