LOS ALTOS, Calif. - January 15, 2009 - Talend, the recognized market leader in open source data integration, today announced the company has been selected by Intelligent Enterprise Magazine as a “Company to Watch” in 2009. The company was selected based on its market leadership in open source data integration and Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) technologies, in addition to the innovation of its products and strength of its industry partnerships.
“An open source alternative seems to exist for every enterprise software niche. In the data integration and ETL space, the leader is Talend. Solid tools and plentiful connectors are complemented by an extensive list of BI and data warehousing partners,” wrote Doug Henschen, editor-in-chief of Intelligent Enterprise.
“Talend had a record year in 2008 and the Intelligent Enterprise Editors' Choice Award recognizes that momentum,” said Yves de Montcheuil, vice president of worldwide marketing at Talend. “Over the past twelve months, Talend has evolved from a market disruptor to a global leader in data integration. During that period, we grew our revenue six fold, added 350 new paying customers and surpassed 3.3 million lifetime downloads. We also built a stable of technical and services partners who have made Talend the foundation of their data integration and ETL products and services.”
