After much deliberation, the Talend Awards Jury returned its verdict. This year we have 3 winners, one in each category:
- In the Best Return on Investment/Best Business Gain category is Ontario, Canada-based Cymat Technologies Ltd. Cymat, an innovative materials technology company, receives the award for achieving a 90 percent time savings in its handling of data and automation for tasks related to compression testing on stabilized aluminum foam products. With this Talend deployment, the timing for processing test results, which previously took six hours, now takes less than 40 minutes to complete.
- For the Best Technical Use category, Habitat 76, an agency that manages subsidized housing in the Seine Maritime region of France, wins the award for its technical documentation project for public housing which automated the creation and maintenance of property listings, maintenance work and technical reports in its Alfresco enterprise content management system. As part of this project, Habitat 76 developed connectors to Alfresco.
- For the Best Performance category, Altic, a systems integrator specializing in open source, receives the award for its Talend-based data integration and data quality deployments at Wonderbox, which sells gift vouchers and activity gifts. Altic was able to reduce its publishing task processing time from 20 hours to less than 15 minutes by implementing new data processes, which extract large volumes of catalog data each day to send to its multi-channel distribution sites.
For the second year, these awards gave us an inside look at the diverse array of interesting projects being implemented by Talend users. The caliber and variety of projects we reviewed clearly prove once more Talend’s suitability and flexibility for all companies, large and small, for many types of data integration projects. This year also mark our first award for the use of Talend Data Quality.
Congratulations again to our winners!

Even the skeptical analysts now admit that open-source technology presents a viable alternative to otherwise expensive enterprise software. Combine that shift with the continuing economic pressures that abound, and some open-source advocates say the perfect storm has assembled to fuel their mission. Are they right? Tune into this episode of DM Radio to find out!
