Today we initiate a challenge rewarding the users of our data integration solutions: the Talend Awards.
The goal of the Talend Awards is to reward interesting and high performance projects developed by Talend users, and to emphasize the gains they achieve. Talend Awards will be awarded in three categories: “best technical prowess”, “best ROI/business gain”, and “best performance”.
The first edition of the Talend Awards is open until January 31, 2008 at midnight CET. Nominate your project now!
A Jury, composed of members from Talend’s technical and marketing divisions and senior management, will designate the winners in each category.
This challenge is open to all users of Talend Open Studio, Talend On Demand and Talend Integration Suite, regardless of their geographical location, their industry and the goals of their project. The participants will submit to the Jury a questionnaire in which they will indicate the solution they are using the category in which they wish to enter, and the description of their project, emphasizing what makes their use of the solution special (challenge faced, features used, goals, etc.) and the gains they have experienced.
By launching the Talend Awards, we want to promote interesting uses of our solutions and representative case studies, and to strengthen ties with our users community. We will communicate on these case studies to provide visibility to our users.
In addition to the visibility, winners of the Talend Awards will:
- Become Talend Ambassadors: Talend Ambassadors are recognized by the Talend Community as expert users of Talend technologies. In addition they receive special perks (roadmap consultations, “get together” opportunities, Talend promotional merchandise, etc.)
- Win the latest iPod Touch: The winning entry in each category will receive an Apple iPod Touch, donated by Talend. In addition, up to two runner-ups may also be selected and will each win an iPod Shuffle.
So, if you are using one of Talend’s products, and whether you are interested by the visibility, by sharing your accomplishments, of by winning an iPod Touch, nominate your project for the Talend Awards now!

what is the Talend Awards result?
When is the next edition?
What do you think for the next edition to add “the most original job” category?
with my best
Since we had extended the submission deadline by 2 weeks, we are slightly behind with our agenda. The jury has voted and we are in the process of notifying the winners. Results will be announced within the next two weeks.
We have not set a date for the next edition, but if you are on our mailing lists you will be notified, or just keep checking the blog.
As far as a “most original job”, I think you should submit it in the “best technical prowess” category.
Thanks for your patience.
