Talend Open Studio received an honorable mention for Computerworld’s Horizon Award 2007. This award recognizes organizations leading the way with technical advances that will affect enterprise customers.
There are some cool technologies among the other recipients of the award - natural language processing, virtual operating system, dispersed storage, low energy bus, etc. And of course - open source data integration is the coolest of all!
Anyway, we are proud of this award, a real recognition of the impact open source is having on the enterprise IT infrastructure.

As mentioned in previous posts, Talend was part of the Open Solutions Alliance pavilion at LinuxWorld earlier this month. Beyond the presentations of each of the OSA members, one of the key features of this pavilion was the OSA interoperability showcase. The showcase featured an hourly demonstration of how enterprise-grade open source solutions interoperate. The specific example shown at LinuxWorld featured a Common Customer View application, in which Talend Open Studio is used to consolidate and reconcile data from 3 packaged applications: Centric CRM, OpenBravo, and Adaptive Planning.
This showcase got interesting coverage from several high profile publications and sites, among them ComputerWorld, InternetNews.com, or O’Reilly’s ONLamp.com.
The presentation of the CCV application is meaningful in several ways. It is, 6 months after the OSA was co-founded by Talend and several other open source vendors, the concrete proof that open source vendors can provide an advanced level of integration. It also clearly demonstrates the value that data integration brings to enterprise applications. Finally, it shows the ability of Talend Open Studio to interoperate with applications and databases of all kinds.

Just got an email from my old friend Shawn Rogers at the Business Intelligence Network (see his blog). Shawn is attending Gnomedex in Seattle this week, with 300 of the biggest names in blogging all in attendance. Shawn told me that a keynote speaker (Robert Steele from OSS.net) put Talend Open Studio on the screen as an example of the power of new information - ETL is the key to open information power.
Pretty neat. And a clear tribute to the power of open source. Thanks, Robert, for recognizing Talend as a player in information power. And thanks, Shawn, for letting me know!
