Talend in the News

Below are some excerpts from publications that have mentioned Talend or its products.

		Investors Inject $8 Million Into Open Source Software Company Talend "Talend, a global provider of open source data solutions, this morning announced it has raised another $8 million in Series D financing. (...) The three investors (...) clearly believe strongly in the company's ability to disrupt the market, which has historically been dominated by a handful of vendors adopting a traditional proprietary model."
		Talend 4.0 Integrates Data Management "Talend integrated the three primary components of its data integration software together into Talend version 4.0. (...) With the three, Talend customers get data integration, data cleansing and master data management in one platform. (...) Version 4.0 is “the first unified data platform” produced as open source code (...)."
		Talend Open Studio Makes Quick ETL Work of Large Data Sets "In my tests of Talend Open Studio, I only scratched the surface of what the tool can do. The product ships with an impressive range of components for accessing data sources and targets, as well as components for manipulating and integrating data in a variety of ways."
		Talend Plans Open-Source Master Data Management Product "The core technology will be downloadable free of charge. Following its approach with data integration and data quality technology, Talend will offer value-added features and service support under commercial subscription licenses."
		Talend taps MDM with open-source wand "Talend is poised to change the market landscape, competing head to head with established players such as IBM and Oracle, for the greater benefit of all customers and users."
		Test Center review: Open source data aces "Before you break the bank for a six-figure proprietary alternative or ponder the ongoing maintenance nightmare of a hand-coded solution, you'd be foolish not to explore Talend for your next data integration project."
		Lessons Learned in Switching from Hand-Coding to a Data Integration Tool "I've learned to definitely research open source, because it gives you the capability to look at a tool - especially if you're coming from a situation where everything is hand-coded. You can take an existing problem, take a tool such as Talend, build that existing problem and see what's going to happen, see what you're going to run in to, see what questions come up."
		Talend Makes Splash with Open Source Data Quality Suite "Talend Data Quality fills in quite a few DQ checkboxes, boasting -- among other features -- data identification (i.e., the ability to determine if data is reliable or unreliable on a record-by-record basis); data cleansing (i.e., the ability to clean incorrect, incomplete, or inconsistent data, either by using built-in routines or by cross-referencing it against masters databases or reference data); and data enrichment (i.e., the ability to flesh out data with "nice-to-have" information -- including latitude and longitude information, census data, or credit scores) capabilities."
		Naville Ensures Applications' Interoperability with Talend Integration Suite "Not only is Talend's performance excellent, but the solution is also easy to appropriate and deploy. The basic functionalities perfectly met our requirements: the majority of the connectors already existed, and the others were developed by Talend in less than a week. That last point enabled us to test the reactivity of the editor and also its listening capacity. Once again, we were not disappointed by Talend."
		Explore your database with Talend Open Profiler "Open Profiler offers functions for both technical and business users. It can quickly build statistics that reflects the usability of the information within a database table. As it finds corrupt or inconsistent data, it can scrub bad information from database structures. Additionally, Open Profiler simplifies the repetitive nature of statistical analysis while reducing labor costs and errors."
		ETAI avoids data traffic jam with open source "ETAI tested products from Talend and three other vendors last January, settling on Talend after five weeks of trials. ETAI went with Talend because its application uses standard programming languages, offers good performance and is much faster than ETAI's legacy software."
		Talend Provides Data Integration "Insurance" to Easyssur "Talend Open Studio brings three key advantages. The first is maintainability. The solution is easy to understand and master, the environment is intuitive and its appropriation requires minimum training. Second, Talend Open Studio is very stable, which is a must-have for a production environment. Finally, Talend Open Studio offers maximum flexibility."
		Entrepreneur Portrait: Bertrand Diard, Talend In this seventeen minute video interview, Talend's CEO Bertrand Diard provides background on his experience and the genesis of Talend. (interview in French)
		Talend: Data integration for the masses! "Traditionally, [data integration] technology has been the purview of the companies that own the data to begin with: Oracle, IBM, and so on. Making use of it required six-figure licensing agreements and seven-figure consulting services contracts, limiting the advantages of data integration and BI solutions to just the wealthiest companies. Talend (...) hopes to change all that by tapping into one of the hottest tech trends of the past 10 years: open source."
		Talend Introduces Open Source Data Integration Solution "Talend is provided at no cost under a GPL license. Furthermore, the ramp-up costs and ongoing development and maintenance costs are sharply reduced by the solution's embracing of open standards and architectural options."
		Open Source Data Integration Plays with Big Boys "Here's an interesting development: Big-boy data integration players Informatica and IBM have new competition from the open source community." "Open source seems like a smart solution, especially when you are trying to mesh together data from so many different systems and applications."
		Open source start-up upgrades data integration software "Talend, a start-up that makes open source data integration software, this week released an upgraded version of its product that triples the number of connectors, allows users to run data integration processes in Java, and expands the ability to execute high-volume data transformations."
		Another Open-Source Option: Data Integration "Open-source options for solution providers and their customers continue to grow beyond infrastructure software like operating systems and application servers: Monday Talend began shipping a new version of its open-source data integration software that competes against commercial products from Informatica, IBM and others." "There has been an explosion of open-source products hitting the market in the past year ranging from applications, to business intelligence tools, to systems management software (...) But data integration has largely remained dominated by proprietary commercial products."
		Talend brings open source to enterprise data integration "The enterprise open source software parade continues with Talend, which is bringing its data integration software. Talend Open Studio v2.0 generates data integration processes in Java and offers Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) functions for data warehousing and analytics, working on scale out, commodity hardware grids."
