Teradata Corporation is the world's largest company focused on raising intelligence through data warehousing and enterprise analytics. Under the partnership, Talend will provide its open source enterprise data integration and open source data quality capabilities to users of the Teradata platform, increasing dramatically the return on investment of data integration for enterprise customers.

“Talend is the first open source vendor to provide enterprise-grade data integration capabilities and to offer a true alternative to traditional tools,” said Vincent Pineau, Talend's vice president and general manager, Americas. “More and more enterprise organizations are building a mixed IT stack where several open source solutions are deployed in parallel with Teradata's data warehousing architecture, ensuring the best price performance ratios.
