New release extends support for serverless data integration and streamlines DevOps Redwood City, CA - July 31, 2018 - Talend, a global leader in cloud integration solutions, announced today the availability of Talend Cloud Summer 2018. The new release adds enterprise-class cloud features to help boost developer productivity with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), and enables greater agility with serverless data integration. Talend Cloud also includes enhanced connectivity with Salesforce, extended enterprise security, and advanced data prep and data stewardship capabilities. Talend continues to make significant investments in its enterprise-class cloud capabilities with Talend Cloud. Serverless architectures allow developers to concentrate on coding without worrying about server capacity or infrastructure management.

Talend Cloud makes it easy to apply these technologies to data integration projects by generating native code that can be run in Docker containers and deployed on the leading orchestration platforms. The new Talend Cloud release also further streamlines DevOps environments through tighter integration with Git and Jenkins Maven. The new release significantly improves how groups of developers can automate and orchestrate the full integration process of building, testing, and publishing jobs in Talend Cloud and other leading cloud environments. Enhancing continuous integration and workflows, the Talend platform boosts collaboration, improves quality of code, and accelerates deployment of new code into production through automation. “Talend Cloud customers are already experiencing the benefits of serverless architectures. Customer results include a 2/3 reduction in cloud computing costs, 50% improvement in performance, and the long-term benefits of greater agility,” said Ciaran Dynes, SVP of Products at Talend. “The new enterprise-class cloud features in this release demonstrate how we continue to keep our customers on the cutting edge of innovation.” Other new features in Talend Cloud Summer ’18 include: Powerful data governance through Data Preparation and Data Stewardship: More data privacy and encryption functions with a new “hash data” function Finer-grained access control of semantic data in Talend’s dictionary service Mass import, export and remove capabilities for faster data curation Enhancements to Salesforce.com (SFDC) connectivity: Filter data in the source module, reducing the amount of data to be extracted and processed.

Together with Talend and Snowflake’s cloud data warehouse, DRG built a trusted single source of truth for its customers to understand the market, optimize patient access to treatments, and meaningfully engage with both patients and physicians. To extend its competitive edge, DRG needed to organize and combine a number of healthcare data sources, analyze information faster, and deliver more insightful analysis via several channels.

Talend drives all of that in the cloud—our algorithms get coded and executed in the Talend environment—and enables us to better serve our patients and physicians.” In working with Talend, DRG is now 150 percent more productive and supports five times as many users, at no extra cost. Within three months of using Talend’s solutions, the company was able to onboard more than 100 terabytes of data to its system to support its various services. DRG’s IT staff now serves a large number of users who get their answers faster, which enables them to deliver products and services to market sooner. “In order to provide their clients with comprehensive healthcare insights, DRG needed to organize and combine a number of data sources, analyze information faster, and deliver it via several channels,” said Ciaran Dynes, SVP of Product, Talend. “Talend has enabled DRG to navigate, structure, and quickly analyze large volumes of data.

Read moreTalend Named a Leader in 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools
Third Consecutive Placement in Leaders Quadrant based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute Redwood City, CA - July 24, 2018 - Talend, a leader in cloud integration solutions, today announced it has once again been recognized by Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in data integration as described in the 2018 “Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools.” This is Talend’s third placement in the Leaders quadrant, acknowledging the company’s completeness of vision and ability to execute. For a complimentary copy of Gartner’s complete report click here. According to Gartner, Inc., “Leaders in the data integration tools market are front-runners in the capability to support a full range of data delivery styles. In 2018, they have advanced their metadata capabilities, with some introducing highly dynamic optimization and advanced design assistance functions. Leaders have recognized the growing affinity between data and application integration. They are approaching location-agnostic deployments in a halting manner. Providers or solutions not limited to only cloud or only on-premises that can be deployed beyond a specific location are gaining traction (that is, on devices, as agents/daemons on sensors, in the IoT and more). Leaders are strong in establishing their data integration infrastructure as an enterprise standard in at least one primary use case, with the capabilities to deliver in multiple use cases. They become a critical component of modern information infrastructure. They support both traditional and new data integration patterns in order to capitalize on market demand. Leaders have significant mind share in the market, and resources skilled in their tools are readily available. These vendors recognize the need for new and emerging market demands — often providing new functional capabilities in their products ahead of demand, and by identifying new types of business problem to which data integration tools can bring significant value. Examples of deployments that span multiple projects and types of use case are common among Leaders' customers. Leaders have an established market presence, significant size and a multinational presence — either directly or through a parent company.” [1] “We’re proud to offer the only open source-based, unified platform that is purpose-built for modern cloud and big data use cases,” said Mike Tuchen, CEO, Talend. “Talend is uniquely positioned to help companies embrace new market innovations and government regulations in order to turn data into a competitive strength. We believe that our consecutive position as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant reinforces our technical strength and go-to-market strategy.” Talend delivers a single platform for data integration across public, hybrid, and private cloud, as well as on-premises environments, and facilitates greater collaboration between IT and business teams. Talend delivers comprehensive support for all major cloud platforms including AWS, Google, and Microsoft Azure.

Read moreTalend Helps Office Depot Europe Deliver Trusted Data
The Office Supplies and Office Services Provider Uses Talend Cloud to Power Better Analytics and Drive its Multi-Channel Customer Engagement Strategy Redwood City, CA - June 19, 2018 - Talend, a global leader in cloud data integration solutions, today announced Office Depot Europe, a business supplies and services provider, is using Talend Cloud to ingest data from its vast collection of operational systems, displacing siloed information repositories with a centralized enterprise data hub. Talend Data Integration and Data Quality capabilities enable Office Depot to improve e-commerce efficiency, while providing a better customer experience using predictive analytics in a more cost-effective and agile way. Office Depot Europe sells everything from paper, pens and flip charts, to office furniture and computers, to customers located in 14 countries throughout Europe. Traditionally, Office Depot’s European sales were primarily sourced through an offline, mail-order catalog model driven mainly by telemarketing activities. The company has since moved to a hybrid retail model, combining offline and online shopping, which required a data consolidation strategy that optimized the different channels and created a 360-degree customer view. Additionally, the company’s myriad backend systems and disparate supply chain data collected from across Europe had become difficult to analyze. Using Talend Cloud, Office Depot gained greater confidence in the quality of its enterprise data, enabling faster responses to rapidly changing market dynamics. “Talend helped us become a capability-led organization rather than application-led, allowing our team to use data to measure customer needs and competitive threats, which improves our business agility,” said Matt Steell, director of Information & Architecture at Office Depot. “With Talend we can ensure qualified, accurate information is delivered at the right time, empowering everyone from senior managers to business analysts to make better business decisions.” In migrating its solutions to Talend, Office Depot is also reducing instances of “shadow IT” by enabling business users to consume data as needed—without involving IT—and be self-sufficient. Using Talend’s persona-based cloud applications, such as Talend Data Preparation, IT can allow business users to be more directly involved in data quality and stewardship activities to ensure data is trusted. “Office Depot Europe is running a digital transformation project to improve internal processes and gain a competitive advantage,” said Ciaran Dynes, SVP of Products, Talend. “We are proud to help Office Depot Europe turn data into a trusted asset to respond more efficiently to market trends.” For more information about how Talend is helping Office Depot create an enterprise-wide view of customers, operations or finances to improve business results, check out this case study.

The companies are also promoting free 30-day trials of Talend Cloud and Snowflake to jump-start customer cloud projects and introduce an entirely new audience of developers and companies to how quick and easy it can be to move to the cloud. Included with the trials is a tutorial to lead users through the common use case of transferring data from Salesforce including step-by-step instructions for accessing, extracting, and filtering data from Salesforce.com and writing filtered results to Snowflake for analytics. “Our growing list of joint customers is a testament to the compelling value we provide to companies looking to leverage the cloud for faster analytics,” said Ashley Stirrup, CMO, Talend. “With our latest capabilities, we’re capitalizing on the native power of Snowflake to deliver a whole new level of performance and scalability.” A Talend and Snowflake customer, Decision Resources Group (DRG) is the premier source for global healthcare data and market intelligence. DRG software-as-a-service (SaaS) products, built using extensive real-world data and research insights, are designed to empower organizations to succeed in complex healthcare markets. The company turned to Talend and Snowflake to streamline their existing data assets company-wide, as well as to generate deeper customer insights and develop new products. “We had a period of extremely rapid data growth combined with high demands from a growing user community and where our existing infrastructure was not able to scale effectively,” said Sven Junkergard, CTO, DRG. “Our team searched for the best possible technology to support our new reality and we decided to move forward with the combination of Snowflake and Talend. After an initial, brief, period of rebuilding existing capabilities on this new platform, we were able to quickly implement new functionality and are today supporting many times more data and users than before our move. The Snowflake and Talend combination has been a great success story for us so far.” The new ELT push-down capabilities Talend and Snowflake are introducing allow developers to perform data processing and transformations directly in Snowflake resulting in 10x greater performance than using traditional ETL processing. Similar gains can also be achieved with the new bulk-data loading capability that leverages the latest Snowflake APIs for rapidly transferring large data volumes into the cloud data warehouse. Using Talend and Snowflake, enterprises can institute a robust cloud data warehouse strategy that allows customers to: Successfully unite diverse data sources, both structured and unstructured, on-premises or in the cloud, allowing them to provide their organizations with an end-to-end view of enterprise information. Maintain data veracity and quality, ensuring that business analytics emerge from a single source of truth. Establish collaborative data governance, which is increasingly important in today’s highly regulated and risky business environment. Enable self-service data analytics for an unlimited and diverse range of business users so they can make data-driven business decisions. “The benefits of cloud computing continue to urge enterprises to retire their on-premises solutions,” Snowflake’s Director of Alliances, Saqib Mustafa said. “But the key to their success is fast and efficient migration. Snowflake and Talend’s latest product advancements take full advantage of the cloud, delivering faster time-to-value and ultimately transforming organizations into data-driven leaders.” Available immediately and running through the end of June, new Snowflake customers can register via the Snowflake website to receive access to Talend Cloud for 30-days, at no charge.
