> A Message from Talend's CEO
>
> Dear Customers, Partners, Users, and Community Members,
>
> Before we fill you in on all the latest happenings at Talend, I want to
> share some wonderful news.
>
> On January 26th Talend secured $12 million in a Series C funding round, led
> by Balderton Capital, an early investor in MySQL. Historic Talend investor
> AGF Private Equity also participated into this round, bringing Talend’s
> total funding to more than $20 million!.
>
> Balderton General Partner Bernard Liautaud, the founder, CEO and Chairman of
> Business Objects for 18 years up until its eventual sale to SAP for $6..7
> billion, has joined Talend’s Board of Directors. This is a terrific addition
> to an already strong team.
>
> Besides being a validation of open source data integration solutions in
> general - and Talend's in particular - these funds will help fuel further
> worldwide growth and company expansion. We plan to increase our
> quarter-on-quarter revenues by 50% or more; double the number of company
> employees; and continue our geographical expansion. We will also continue to
> help our community grow and contribute more to the product, develop our OEM
> program to target more ISVs, small and large, in all industries, and deploy
> additional programs to support our channel. Finally, while we continue to
> reinforce our position in the data integration market as the only viable
> alternative to proprietary vendors, we also intend to become a key player in
> the SOA stack.
>
> Thanks to everyone for making 2008 a pivotal year. We had phenomenal growth
> on all fronts - customers and partners, as well as downloads - highlighting
> the strong demand for our tools. And we're on track to make 2009 even
> better! All this is, of course, supported by an incredibly active community
> - your community.

> Survey Results: Usage Landscape of Enterprise Open Source Data Integration
>
> Enterprise data integration needs are growing exponentially over time, as is
> the interest in open source technologies and the adoption of open source
> solutions. And, as information systems are becoming more heterogeneous, the
> global economy is imposing cost controls on IT Managers, both in terms of
> staff and software. With this in mind Talend conducted a survey to define
> the usage landscape of open source data integration and to profile users of
> this technology.
>
> Consolidating the open source experience of over 1000 respondents, this
> White Paper discusses the most commonly used data integration technologies,
> their benefits, and the associated decision criteria. It also highlights the
> types of projects open source data integration is used for, and how it
> complements other data integration technologies.
