Powered by Talend: the Power of OEM

Since the appearance of software, companies have been looking for a powerful data integration tool that fits easily into their applications. The criteria? Easy to integrate; small footprint; highly scalable, platform independent and highly distributable. Oh and, of course, it has to be affordable to small, medium, and large software companies.

Good luck with that!

For decades, the only options were high-cost, platform-dependent, large footprint proprietary solutions from companies like Informatica and DataStage, which presented high barriers for most enterprises wanting to OEM these products. Instead, quite a few of these software companies wrote their own data integration tools using Java or Perl scripts. The result? Messy code and, over time, an unmanageable number of scripts.

Enter Talend.

With its progressive and advanced technology, Talend’s native OEM adaptable architecture provides a tool that empowers applications with a ready-to-go implementation approach.

Ease of embedding Talend: Talend’s unique architecture lets the software company implement the needed data integration Job only once; then, by embedding the Job within the application, it can deploy that Job (in Java or Pearl) an unlimited number of times. Smaller footprint, customizable and cost efficient solution — an excellent solution for both the OEM and the OEM’s users.

Talend’s flexible architecture means that old scripts can be re-used in a well-managed process, and new implementations can be added within the same framework — a huge asset to IT and R&D departments at a very low cost.

With Talend’s natural, friendly OEM architecture, software companies can embed data integration into an application in less than two weeks. Our rapidly growing team of OEM Partners who signed up for the Powered by Talend program is very impressed with the power of our software. Talend’s OEM solution is also affordable for all sizes of companies, which is critical in the current economy.

We are committed to the success of our OEM program, and congratulate all the new Partners who joined this Quarter!”

OSA Hack-A-Thon at OSCON

logo_osa.jpgThe Open Solutions Alliance, of which Talend is a founding member, is organizing its first Hack-A-Thon at OSCON in Portland, OR (July 23-27). It will focus on single sign on (SSO).

The Hack-A-Thons are a series of events intended to drive community participation in the OSA’s interoperability efforts. Each event will focus on a specific interoperability issue, and will include a tutorial followed by a directed hands-on-keyboard session to get several open applications to integrate.

A Tuesday tutorial will precede the Hack-A-Thon gatherings on Wednesday and Thursday. Tutorial attendance is desirable but not mandatory. An engineer from an OSA member organization and other OSA members will be available to help attendees. Software on CD-ROM and other media will be available at the tutorial. This will be a good time for participants to provide feedback and requests for enhancement.

You only need a free Exhibit Hall pass to participate into the Hack-A-Thon.

Hope to see you there!

New members join OSA

The Open Solutions Alliance that Talend co-founded earlier this year is really making headways! We announced this week four new members: 3 vendors (Ingres, CorraTech and Open IT Works) as well as our first Customer-level member (Redmayne Bentley, a UK brokerage firm). The Customer-level membership was introduced recently to further increase the dialog between vendors and users of open solutions, and I think this is a very positive enhancement to the OSA principles.

Several board members of the OSA have also recently been interviewed by leading publications or invited to deliver presentations at key industry events, further proving the leadership role the OSA is taking in topîcs related to open source interoperability:
- Barry Klawans, podcast interview by Scott Mace, IT Conversations
- Open Source, Open Integration, and the Open Solutions Alliance – Stacey Schneider, for Enterprise Open Source Magazine
- OSA Interoperability Roadmap Takes Priorities from Customers, Vendors – Dominic Sartorio, interviewed by IT Business Edge

Talend is also actively supporting the involvement of the OSA in major open source conventions (such as OSCON in July and LinuxWorld in August).

Welcome on board, Ingres, CorraTech, Open IT Works and Redmayne Bentley! You are joining a very involved and active community!
