Talend Adds New Asia Pacific Cloud Data Infrastructure to Meet Increasing Regional Demand for Talend Cloud

Enabling APAC Enterprises to Leverage Data Value While Meeting Strict Local Data Residency, Privacy, and Scalability Requirements Redwood City, CA & Tokyo - October 8, 2018 - Talend, a global leader in cloud data integration solutions, today announced it is supporting Talend Cloud’s expansion and growth in Asia Pacific (APAC) with new regional cloud data infrastructure. With growth exceeding 100 percent year over year in APAC, Talend is helping the region's enterprises put more diverse data, applications, and APIs to work while addressing data privacy, residency, and performance requirements. Talend Cloud provides a single platform for data integration across cloud and on-premises environments, and allows for greater collaboration between IT and business teams. Talend's new regional cloud infrastructure is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) and supports Talend Cloud in the AWS Asia Pacific (Tokyo) region with AWS Asia Pacific (Singapore) region serving as the backup. In today’s digital transformation journey, Talend customers are moving to the cloud to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs, and increase data availability. Talend Cloud enables customer adoption of high-volume data, real-time advanced analytics, data lakes, data warehouses, and self-service applications. New regulations and data privacy laws increasingly impose the localization of data in the country of processing, which requires the implementation of local solutions for data integration. There are several benefits for Talend Cloud customers with this launch: Better local performance: For customers who are using Talend Cloud services in the APAC region, the new cloud infrastructure will lead to faster performance with higher throughput and lower latency. Improved data security with proximity: Maintaining data within the APAC region means the data does not have to make a long trip outside of the region, which can reduce the risk of data security breaches in transit and ease companies’ worries about security measures. Reduced compliance and operational risk: The new cloud data infrastructure offers an instance of Talend Cloud that is deployed independently in APAC, which is vital for allowing customers to maintain high standards regarding data residency, security, and operational best practices. As industry and government regulations evolve, Talend Cloud customers will be able to maintain flexibility to keep up with the changes. "Our expansion in APAC reinforces our commitment to supporting customers wherever they operate around the world,” said Ciaran Dynes, SVP Products, Talend. "We see strong customer interest in data lakes, analytics, and machine learning on AWS and building Talend Cloud on AWS allows us to address demand around the world.” Talend Cloud is a highly secure and scalable Integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) that helps organizations put more data to work by increasing its availability, quality, and value. Talend’s native, portable, and unified data platform provides the performance, governance, and collaboration required for companies to liberate their data, so everyone can trust it and use it to drive business value.

Talend Partners with Snowflake and Datalytyx to Deliver Self-Service “Pay-as-you-Go” Data Analytics and Data Science for Enterprises in Europe

New Platform Enables Business Users to Access Live and Instant Reporting in the Cloud REDWOOD CITY, Calif. and LONDON, United Kingdom - September 25, 2018 - Talend, a global leader in cloud data integration solutions, Snowflake Computing, the data warehouse built for the cloud, and Datalytyx, the leading provider of big data engineering, data analytics, data science and cloud solutions, today unveiled a new Platform as a Service designed to provide business users, including sales and marketing, with direct access to relevant data analytics and data science capabilities, without relying on IT. It allows any business user to manipulate data to spot business opportunities without a background in statistics or technology and with no additional IT costs and dedicated resources. Available from Datalytyx, the new Self-Service Data Platform includes Talend Cloud for data governance and management to allow business users to integrate, clean and master data coming from a range of sources, including Salesforce, SAP and Marketo. The data is then centralized in a smart data lake powered by Snowflake offering infinite scale and zero administration requirements. Datalytyx provides the complete, fully managed cloud data platform on a monthly subscription fee with no setup costs. Included in the offering is 24/7 service & support and up to three trained staff to build and manage data pipelines. The customer just turns the service on, decides what needs to be ingested, and Datalytyx does the rest. Customers can connect to popular data science and visualization tools including Tableau, Power BI and Zoomdata. Within a day, customers can examine their data, and within 20 to 60 days, depending on the complexity, customers can generate new insights and gain a truly 360-degree view of their customers by combining data in new ways and providing secure access to it. VT iDirect®, a global leader in IP-based satellite communications, is one of the first companies to use the new Self-Service Data Platform to optimize satellites’ performance. “The Self-Service Data Platform provided by Datalytyx takes away all of the complexity and challenge in running a Big Data Platform,” said Guy Adams, VP of Engineering, VT iDirect. “The power of Talend’s data management solutions and the scalability and flexibility of Snowflake’s data warehouse provide the power to analyze vast amounts of network data for any size of network operator.” According to Gartner, “By 2020, the number of data and analytics experts in business units will grow at three times the rate of experts in IT departments, which will force companies to rethink their organizational models and skill sets.”[1] Thus, the importance of enabling business users to access and manipulate data in a simple way is becoming an organizational necessity. “IT teams are struggling to keep pace with growing data volumes and the increasing number of employees that want data insights,” said Ciaran Dynes, SVP, Products, Talend. “Through our collaboration with Snowflake and Datalytyx, we’re significantly lowering the barrier to entry to organization-wide data access in terms of both cost and IT management.” “Data growth is exploding, and most organizations don’t consistently turn data into action due to fundamental challenges that include data silos, painful upfront costs and overprovisioned capacity,” said Justin Mullen, Co-Founder and Managing Director, Datalytyx. “Our Self-Service Data Platform enables the business users to consume data easily, while reducing the costs traditionally associated with data management and analytics using the scalability of the cloud and pay-as-you-go model.” “Today’s leading data-driven organizations want to find new ways to get instant access to data and real-time insights, while guaranteeing data governance,” said Walter Aldana, VP Alliances, Snowflake. “The Self-Service Data Platform provided by Datalytyx answers the digital challenges organizations are facing today, including access to trusted data easily, the enablement of the orchestration of data exchanges and governance.” To learn more about the full capabilities and benefits of the Self-Service Data Platform from Talend, Datalytyx and Snowflake, visit www.datalytyx.com.

The Majority of Businesses Surveyed are Failing to Comply with GDPR, According to New Talend Research

70% of companies surveyed couldn’t fulfill data access and portability requests within the GDPR-specified one-month time limit Redwood City, CA - September 13, 2018 - Some 70% of surveyed businesses worldwide failed to address requests made from individuals seeking to obtain a copy of their personal data as required by GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) within the one-month time limit set out in the regulations, reveals new research from Talend, a global leader in cloud data integration solutions. The research is based on personal data requests made to 103 companies based or operating in Europe across industries including retail, media, technology, public sector, finance, and travel. Conducted between June 1 and September 3, 2018, Talend assessed responses to GDPR Article 15 (“Right of access by the data subject”) and Article 20 (“Right to data portability”) requests, monitoring areas including GDPR references in privacy policies, and the speed and completeness of responses. “GDPR requires insight into company data and its governance,” said Penny Jones, Research Director at 451 Research. “Recent research, including that done by Talend and separate reports by 451 Research, has found that while many organizations understand the importance of GDPR, many are still not taking their data seriously in terms of the technologies and processes they have in place. As a result, many businesses are falling short of their GDPR obligations. They can lack the proper methods for storing, organizing or retrieving data in line with the regulation’s requirements.” “GDPR presents an opportunity to engage with customers and build loyalty. It’s vital for businesses in the digital era to have a 360-degree view of customers,” said Jean-Michel Franco, Senior Director of Data Governance Products at Talend. “Businesses must ensure that data is consolidated and stored in a transparent and shareable way. What’s more, GDPR’s one-month time limit should be viewed as an absolute deadline rather than a target. Our research shows that it is possible for some brands to respond within a day, suggesting that these brands understand fast response times will help boost customer trust.” Major findings from the research include: GDPR compliance is higher outside of Europe Just 35% of Europe-based companies polled provided data. This includes companies headquartered in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and Italy. However, at 50%, the compliance rate was slightly higher for non-European companies, suggesting that businesses outside of Europe are taking a slightly more proactive approach to GDPR. Retail firms had lowest response rate A worrying 76% of retail companies polled failed to respond, while the best performing industry, Financial Services, still only managed a 50% success rate. When drilling down in the results, the research suggests that businesses that started out offline, and those that are hindered by legacy systems, may find GDPR compliance more challenging. Significantly different response times between industries The vast majority (65%) of GDPR compliant companies took more than ten days to respond and the overall average response time was 21 days. For some, however, the response was much quicker. Of those who responded within the time limit (22% of companies) – primarily streaming services, mobile banking, and technology businesses – replied within just one day, suggesting that digital service companies are more agile when it comes to GDPR compliance. More benchmark results will be shared by Franco during his presentation today at the Strata Data Conference in New York City. Approaches to help manage technologies and processes for GDPR are explained here. About the Research Talend conducted market research to assess companies’ ability to comply with the new GDPR regulation. The research involved 103 GDPR-relevant companies across the globe (EU companies [70%] or companies based in NORAM [19%] or APAC [11%] that conduct business in Europe) from a range of industries (retail, media, technology, utilities & telecommunications, public sector, finance, and travel, transportation & hospitality. The analysis involved the following: Assessing whether companies had updated their privacy policies to account for GDPR Researching whether companies had dedicated ways for consumers to request GDPR data (i.e., the personal information the company has on them) Requesting GDPR data and assessing how quickly and thoroughly companies comply Requesting GDPR data in a way that may be directly accessed and reused by the individual (data portability)
