LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Talend, a global open source software leader, today announced it has been honored for the third consecutive year by IDG’s InfoWorld as a recipient of the Best of Open Source Software awards (Bossies). Talend Open Studio, the Company’s leading-edge open source solution for data integration, was recognized as a winner in the “Best open source data center and cloud software” category for its ability to dramatically improve the efficiency of data integration job design, enable rapid deployment, reduce maintenance costs and offer support for all types of data integration, data migration and data synchronization operations.
Chosen by InfoWorld Test Center editors and reviewers, the annual Bossies recognize the best and most innovative open source software products for end users, businesses and IT professionals. The 2011 awards reflect the dominance of open source software on the desktop, in mobile technology, business applications, application development, the data center and the private cloud.
According to InfoWorld, “Talend Open Studio remains the undisputed leader in open source data management and integration. Although most of the improvements this year pertained to growing and assimilating Talend's own ESB, the addition of an XML data mapping application is a boon to anyone working XML docs into their data flows, and the Bonita plugin builds a bridge to open source BPM. Talend's many onboard wizards simplify setup, while new tools for data quality analysis are must-haves for master data management. With strong provisions for business modeling and ETL, and even native support for Apache Hadoop, Talend scales to enterprise heights with ease.”
“Through open source, we are continuing to lead innovation in integration technology and to disrupt the market,” said Bertrand Diard, co-founder and CEO, Talend. “The recent release of Talend Cloud, our Big Data initiatives, and of course our combining of multiple integration paradigms within a single platform all bring further proof points of the enterprise-readiness of open source. We are excited to see InfoWorld recognize these trends and reward us with a Bossie Award for the third year in a row.”
