The Company
Talend are the first provider of open source data integration software and have leveraged this model to provide innovative and powerful solutions to meet the needs of all types of organisations regardless of their size, technical ability or budgetary constraints.

Talend’s solutions are commonly used for integration between operational systems or to facilitate and control a data migration exercise as well as providing the capability to develop ETL functionality for business intelligence or data warehousing purposes.

Building on an open source foundation has allowed Talend to provide significant savings when compared against their more traditional competitors without compromising on functionality or efficiency.

The Product
Talend offer a single user business modeller, job designer and metadata manager called Open Studio under a General Public License, which is free and available for download.

On top of that, there are three tiered subscription offerings with an enhanced development studio, a shared repository for team working and increasingly advanced execution and monitoring features as the prices rise through the Team, Professional and Enterprise editions.

Now that the toolset has matured, Talend have begun to launch companion products, specifically the recently released open source data quality solution Open Profiler, and a SaaS service, Talend on Demand.
