Read moreTalend Cloud Helps Streamline Kent State University’s Admissions Process
Enables speed and trust for analyzing application data in a hybrid cloud environment Redwood City, CA - June 18, 2019 - Talend, a global leader in cloud integration and data integrity, today announced that Kent State University is using Talend Cloud to simplify its admissions process. Combining data integration, data stewardship, and application integration capabilities from Talend on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Kent State is able to integrate ERP with CRM and other SaaS systems, streamline the admissions process, and shorten development time. “Talend is a platform that helps us integrate multiple systems on-premises and in the cloud, put structure around data movement, and make data work for us,” said John Rathje, Kent State's vice president for information technology and CIO. “We use it to manage and understand data, and as a framework for capabilities like deploying a more structured approach to reporting and analytics.” Using the cloud to streamline the admissions process During the graduate and international student admissions process, Kent State receives data such as standardized test scores and lists of candidates from several sources. This influx of data left Kent State with many point-to-point integrations among different systems, both on-premises and in the cloud. To simplify the application and admissions process, Kent State needed to organize and integrate a number of data sources. To do this, the university needed to transition to a cloud-based environment and integrate all systems receiving application data. In working with Talend, Kent State has integrated more than 60 systems, streamlined the processing of more than 6,000 graduate school applications, shortened development time with reusable components, and leveraged Remote Engines to access cloud and on-premises data. The university was able to, for example, integrate two major systems, CollegeNET CRM and Banner ERP. This integration prevents employees from manually entering the same information twice and syncs data nightly so changes in Banner are replicated in CollegeNET. Additionally, faulty data is caught early as the data stewardship capabilities in Talend Cloud eliminate the need for manually changing data in Banner, saving up to 20 minutes in admissions staff time per applicant. “With high competition among universities for qualified students, consistent messages are critical to recruiting success,” said Ciaran Dynes, SVP of Products at Talend. “Talend is happy to provide Kent State with integrated, high-quality data that enables them to identify and communicate with students more effectively during the recruiting process.” Additional information on how Kent State is using Talend can be found here.

With this release, we can also ensure that customers have a smooth upgrade path to OAS 3.0 from previous versions or alternative formats.” OAS 3.0 Support Drives Speed and Compatibility Talend Cloud is an integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) that makes it easy to collect, govern, transform, and share data. Highlights of OAS 3.0 support in Talend Cloud include: Data type composition, e.g. merge different customer information (such as profile, contact and preferences into a unified view of a customer) Data type polymorphism Documentation of new security schemes (such as OpenID Connect or JWT) Reusable API components (e.g. create a component that describes how to paginate results and use it across multiple API operations) Default response and status ranges (e.g. for “any error” on this operation, “this particular” response will be returned) Convert API definitions to and from other formats (e.g RAML and Swagger) Visual implementation of APIs as mini and microservices These new features are usable on existing API definitions. Through a quick import, customers can seamlessly transition to OAS 3.0 from Swagger 2 as well as from RAML. Additional Cloud Enhancements to Spring ‘19 In addition to new API services, the Spring ’19 release of Talend Data Fabric includes new features for its management console, data prep and stewardship capabilities, including: Enhanced support for Amazon API Gateway Enhanced support for Azure API Management Automated service deployment through Talend Cloud APIs Authentication via personal access tokens A new web-based graphical designer to create end-to-end pipelines to preview and transform your data Improved efficiency for dataset cleansing and standardization For more information on this offering, check out the webinar demo here or sign up for a cloud trial here.
Read moreTalend Enables Seacoast Bank to Ensure Compliance and Achieve Faster Analysis
Innovative data integration and data quality capabilities help deliver trusted data at the speed of business Redwood City, CA - April 29, 2019 - Talend, a global leader in cloud data integration and data integrity, today announced that Seacoast Bank (NASDAQ: SBCF), will deploy Talend Data Fabric to deliver trusted data and ensure regulatory compliance. With Talend, Seacoast Bank is able to address stringent regulatory banking requirements, reduce costs by automating data quality tasks, and speed up analysis. Data governance for the financial industry “Being heavily regulated, banks understand the need for data governance more than any other industry,” said Mark Blanchette, SVP, director of data management and business technology, Seacoast Bank. “That made it easier for us to put in place this innovative data quality framework that facilitates compliance. More importantly, it helps us be responsible data caretakers who can rely on high-quality data to better know and serve our customers.” Talend Data Fabric has streamlined review processes and enabled bank personnel to focus more on their core mission instead of manual processes intended to ensure data quality. To do this, Seacoast Bank built a data quality index as part of its overarching data governance program. The index uses Talend to make data quality understandable to business users throughout the organization. It measures data quality on six dimensions: accuracy, completeness, conformity, consistency, uniqueness, and validity. Using a scale of 0 to 100, the index is a single measure that provides an overall indication of the level of data quality at Seacoast Bank. It also measures data quality over time to track how it improves or degrades as the bank acquires other banks and new data sources, processes, or technical environments are introduced. Better data quality means better analytics “We are proud to be part of Seacoast Bank’s innovative approach to governing data,” said Ciaran Dynes, SVP of Products at Talend. “By making it less complicated to achieve quality data, our customers can spend more time focusing on analysis and maximizing their business benefits.” Additional information on how Seacoast Bank is using Talend can be found here.
