Talend launches industry's first unified data management platform

Talend 4.0 Unites Data Integration, Data Quality and Master Data Management to Turbocharge Productivity of All Data Management Projects

LOS ALTOS, Calif. - April 13, 2010 - Talend, the recognized market leader in open source data management software, today announced the release of Talend 4.0, a significant milestone for the company and the data integration market. With this major upgrade to the company's flagship data management solutions, Talend is delivering the industry's first integrated data management platform uniting data integration, data quality and master data management (MDM) within a single solution. Talend's thousands of customers can now further streamline and reduce the complexity of their critical data management projects, resulting in higher productivity, lower operational costs and greater insights into their vital informational assets.

Over the last four years, Talend has been the innovator in the data management market, delivering high-performance, cost-optimized, open source solutions that offer comparable and in many cases greater functionality than significantly more expensive and complex proprietary technologies. With the launch earlier this year of Talend MDM, Talend now offers solutions that address any data management challenge for organizations of all sizes. To complete the circle, Talend has integrated its core technologies - data integration, data quality and MDM - into one unified platform.

“Talend 4.0 reflects our laser focus on delivering the exact data management capabilities required by our customers, regardless of their vertical industry, or if they are a growing start-up or established industry giant,” said Fabrice Bonan, co-founder and chief operating officer, Talend. “By unifying our core solutions in a single platform, we are empowering our customers to consolidate disparate projects and reinvent how they conduct data management in a way that is simply not possible with any other solution on the market.”

Talend 4.0 delivers unprecedented improvements in resource optimization and utilization, and project consistency. Key features include:

• Single development studio based on Eclipse, that provides users with consistent ergonomics, fast learning curve and a high-level of reusability.
• A common metadata repository, that promotes sharing of vital information assets including user data, application metadata, business models, business rules, transformation and validation rules, connectors, data validation and workflows. Cross project data lineage and impact analysis is also available throughout the repository.
• Unified deployment environment, that includes a distributed and high availability execution paradigm, single monitoring console and real-time execution reporting.

“In the information management discipline, there is clearly a growing demand for integrated solutions to address a wide range of issues that companies in competitive industries grapple with every day,” said Ted Friedman, vice president and distinguished analyst, Gartner. “Organizations that take a strategic view of information infrastructure and effectively standardize on key technology components for understanding, governing, and delivering information assets will gain substantial business benefit.”
