With Talend’s modern data management solutions, Palladium Hotel Group has built a broader data culture among data professionals and business users, addressing data challenges such as data quality and establishing effective data governance practices to mitigate risks, optimize costs, and capitalize on untapped opportunities to improve customer experience. “At Palladium Hotel Group, our corporate philosophy is based on excellence and high-quality standards. To strengthen our leadership, establishing an effective data-driven strategy became an essential element to deliver a premium customer experience, drive business and improve our operational efficiency,” said Marcel Alet, Chief Information Officer at Palladium Hotel Group. According to the 2023 Deloitte Hospitality Industry Outlook1, in a market environment where businesses increasingly face pressure on resources and margins, more than 60 percent of the hospitality leaders in Europe mentioned adapting to evolving needs of consumers as a key priority, and nearly half consider it essential to accelerate digital transformation. Palladium Hotel Group initiated a digital transformation journey focusing on becoming a data-driven company to improve customer experiences and organization and business efficiency. A lack of data access, trust, and literacy hindered its ability to make informed decisions, amplifying risks associated with its business operations. Palladium Hotel Group tackled various data challenges in its legacy data architecture, paving the way for enhanced decision-making and positive outcomes. Based on an AWS cloud platform and a Snowflake data warehouse, Palladium Hotel Group implemented a hybrid approach with the Talend platform as the centerpiece of its new data architecture. This effort empowers all business and technical users to easily find and analyze the data required to get answers and achieve business goals quickly. All the organization's data sources, whether from internal databases, SaaS applications, or Rest API connectors, are integrated and managed by Talend in the new data architecture. By leveraging the Talend Data Fabric, with the support of Talend’s partner SDG Group, Palladium has a unique approach focused on adding business value and democratizing data. “With the support of Talend, we embraced a trusted data approach that demonstrated tangible value, improving operational efficiency, decision-making, forecast accuracy, and enhancing business users’ satisfaction. This data strategy contributes to the organization’s success and delivers best-class services to our customers,” said Gustavo Cueva, Head of Data at Palladium Hotel Group. Talend helped Palladium Hotel Group experience a 75% reduction in report generation time, enabling timely access to critical information. Forecast accuracy improved significantly, resulting in better decision-making and reduced risks associated with inaccurate projections. The effectiveness of data-driven practices was reflected in ratings from internal reporting owners, averaging 9.5 out of 10, indicating their satisfaction with the quality, relevance, and usability of reports generated through the data-driven approach. Additionally, the organization benefitted from having unified data, providing a competitive advantage and tailored insights for their specific needs. "In a dynamic and competitive market landscape, Palladium Hotel Group's objective was to transform into a data-driven company, where trusted data serves as the foundation for strategic decision-making, operational excellence and long-term success," said Gareth Vincent, Senior Vice President of Sales, EMEA at Qlik.

Talend Partners with Passerelle and Snowflake to Ensure Companies Run on Healthy Data

New vertical solutions for Passerelle’s Data Rocket architected on Talend Data Fabric and the Snowflake Data Cloud SAN MATEO – November 17, 2022 – Talend, a global leader in data integration and data management, announced today a partnership with Passerelle and Snowflake, the Data Cloud company, to provide new vertical solutions for delivering healthy data to organizations worldwide. Built on Talend Data Fabric and Snowflake’s Data Cloud, Passerelle’s Data Rocket provides a scalable architecture that delivers governed data ingestion, trusted stewardship, cloud-based storage, and on-demand visual analytics based on the foundation of healthy data. New Data Rocket vertical solutions will be tailored for key vertical markets, beginning with financial services. Financial institutions rely on data insights to attract and retain customers in a tech-driven world – an estimated 73% of global consumers use online banking at least once a month to access and manage their financial assets. However, for many organizations, data silos and legacy ways of data governance create barriers to valuable insights. Additionally, legacy analytics infrastructure makes it difficult for the right teams to get the data where they need it, when they need it. Investing in data modernization with a full-scale data architecture and business analytics solution can be overwhelming and expensive for small and mid-sized institutions. “To compete in today’s world, it takes a whole ecosystem of partners -  there's not one bank that I know of that can do it all on their own,” Peter Love, Chief Digital Officer, Berkshire Bank. “Passerelle’s Data Rocket has created a modern infrastructure to improve our insights and create a better customer experience.” “By integrating its product with Snowflake, Passerelle harnesses the power of the Data Cloud and the ability to discover and purchase data directly on Snowflake Marketplace to enable digital transformation for regional banks and other financial services organizations,” said Rinesh Patel, Global Head of Financial Services at Snowflake. “Passerelle’s Data Rocket ties technology investments with use cases for immediate value and usability.” Data Rocket’s end-to-end data solution optimizes Talend Data Fabric and the Snowflake Data Cloud’s abilities to give data teams the most value out of their data so financial organizations can achieve desired business outcomes in a robust data-based environment.
