We selected Talend's platform as the foundation of this system because of its open source core, support for a broad range of data sources, and simple operability of its user interface."
Omron Healthcare adopted Talend as the foundation of its data integration architecture which is currently under development. Talend is an open source integration platform that enables enterprises to shorten the time to develop and operate a data project and reduce costs. Omron will utilize the ETL processing and the enterprise service bus (ESB) technology which Talend offers to integrate vital health data via the company's health management application "OMRON connect."
