Talend Positioned in Visionaries Quadrant of Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools

Vendors meet stringent market size and visibility requirements for consideration

LOS ALTOS, Calif. - December 1, 2010 - Talend, the recognized market leader in open source data management software, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the “Visionaries” quadrant of the “Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools.” The report evaluates vendors based on a set of criteria that include “completeness of vision” and “ability to execute.”

“We are proud to be a part of Gartner’s Magic Quadrant. We believe our positioning in the ‘Visionaries’ quadrant recognizes the effort put forth to expand our technological portfolio, enhancing our ability to innovate while delivering unmatched value to our clients,” said Bertrand Diard, CEO and co-founder, Talend. “Today’s market favors companies that can offer a cost-optimized solution with a rapid path to ROI, we are developing solutions meant to meet and exceed those market demands.”

Those included in Gartner’s “Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools,” had to present a data integration solution that possesses the subset of capabilities identified by Gartner as most critical from within the overall range of capabilities expected in data integration tools. Vendors also had to meet stringent criteria related to their ability to execute and completeness of vision.

Talend’s flagship open source data integration solution fits that description. Talend Open Studio has garnered more than ten million lifetime downloads since its release in October 2006. The enterprise-version, Talend Integration Suite, is an enterprise-grade, high-performance offering that extends the functionality of Talend Open Studio, with technical support and additional features for collaboration and deployment in large enterprise settings. Talend Integration Suite presents an open source alternative to proprietary data integration solutions that require expensive initial investment and drain IT resources via maintenance and upgrades.
