Bertrand and I have been hitting the road for the past week or so, with one mission: spread the word among the distinguished members of the press and analyst communities about Talend, our solutions, and the value they bring to users. Our PR agencies in the US and Europe have set the pace, quite intense - we have done 21 briefings so far with many leading IT publications and analyst firms, and more are scheduled over the next few days!

Got to say it - we are thrilled by the feedback we get. All journalists and analysts we met with were extremely positive about our value proposition, our positioning and how we are going to revolutionize the data integration market. Several caught themselves thinking out loud: “it was about time an Open Source player comes and shatters this proprietary market”.

And since getting stuck in bad weather storms has become a Talend trademark, I’ll just mention that - yes, we were in Boston on Monday and Tuesday, when it got hit by a nasty Nor’easter that dumped several inches of rain, flooded houses and highways, disrupted traffic and ball games… but that did not prevent us from running from meeting to meeting, soaking wet that we were!
