From the post:
Talend has been around for about 6 years and the original focus was on “democratizing” data integration – making it cheaper, easier, quicker and less maintenance-heavy. They originally wanted to build an open source alternative for data integration. In particular they wanted to make sure that there was a product that worked for smaller companies and smaller projects, not just for large data warehouse efforts.
Talend has 400 employees in 8 countries and 2,500 paying customers for their Enterprise product. Talend uses an “open core” philosophy where the core product is open source and the enterprise version wraps around this as a paid product. They have expanded from pure data integration into a broader platform with data quality and MDM and a year ago they acquired an open source ESB vendor and earlier this year released a Talend branded version of this ESB.
I have the Talend software but need to spend some time working through the tutorials, etc.
A review from a perspective of subject identity and re-use of subject identification.
It may help me to simply start posting as I work through the software rather than waiting to create an edited review of the whole. Which I could always fashion from the pieces if it looked useful.
Watch for the start of my review of Talend this next week.
