Talend looks to ease big data prep with latest release

Talend, the big data integration vendor that went public last July, announced its winter release today with new tools to help automate data preparation, a sticky problem for enterprise customers. Surely, there are ever-increasing amounts of data and companies struggle to keep up. Perhaps that explains why, when Talend went public last summer, its shares popped 54 percent out of the gate and closed at $25.50. The company’s stock price has stayed close to that price ever since, fluctuating as stocks do, but sitting at $23.79 at close of business yesterday. The company has tried to simplify this process by providing an interface to manage the data and create Hadoop-compatible code, across a variety of releases — whether that’s Cloudera, Hortonworks, MapR or Amazon EMR, Amazon’s Hadoop processing service. When data is coming from a variety of internal and external sources, that can be problematic. As Christopher and others have said, data scientists often spend a vast majority of their time just getting the data ready. The new Talend Data Preparation app lets customers create a common dictionary, and using machine learning, helps automate the data cleansing process, with the goal of reducing the time it takes to get data into a ready state. There is a full audit trail to track and review the activity, so that there are checks and balances built in. Featured Image: Colin Anderson/Getty Images

It requires software to pick up some of the slack and companies like Talend are hoping to help customers process that data — and eventually write applications to help customer create more data-driven businesses.

Perhaps that explains why, when Talend went public last summer, its shares popped 54 percent out of the gate and closed at $25.50. The company’s stock price has stayed close to that price ever since, fluctuating as stocks do, but sitting at $23.79 at close of business yesterday. Clearly, there is a demand for these kinds of services and companies are hungry for solutions to help them out of the data morass.

From its inception, Talend’s primary job has been to provide an interface to create clean Hadoop code, removing the need to hand-code everything. The company has tried to simplify this process by providing an interface to manage the data and create Hadoop-compatible code, across a variety of…
