- A change in the way we see software…
The world is moving toward a different way of consuming products.
Consider transportation. The Ford Model T democratized the car and made it more accessible. Generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, it was known as the car that “put America on wheels.” People bought them and drove away; kept them for a few years; and then traded them in on a newer, “improved” model.
Today - especially with the price of gas - people are not only downsizing from SUVs to hybrids, they’re realizing that owning a car isn’t always required. You can rent, or lease long-term, or just use a car when you need it. Zipcar is just one of the programs freeing consumers from ownership issues. Reserve online, let yourself in with your Zipcard and drive… by the hour or day, gas and insurance included.
This is a great way to get from point to point without having to deal with parking hassles. And it’s working for bicycles, too. Launched in 2007, the Velib self-service bicycles were part of a plan to reduce traffic and make the city of Paris more ecologically friendly. One year later, the bikes have clocked over 30 million rides - many for daily commutes - and are changing the way people get around the city.
And there’s a seismic shift in the software world, which reflects these changing international consumer trends. Ownership and the world of proprietary software is no longer the only game in town. Today more and more people are thinking about open source and SaaS, and business models are transforming to accept this.
Open source lets you select only what you want. When you buy Oracle software, for example, you buy a set of functions, some of which you may not want or need. With open source you don’t have to deal with whatever you’re given; you can use only 5% is you want to. For example, in the data integration world, if you just need synchronization, you can use just this functionality - and it’s free! Open standards let our customers “plug and play” different components from different open source vendors - there’s no lock-in and no cost of ownership.
Freedom of choice has entered the software world. You can try vs. buy; adapt the product; pick only what you need and pay only for that. As your needs change, so can you, without the drag of proprietary software.
We’re in an emerging space responding to the needs of today’s consumers. Responsive transportation solutions; software as needed… Given the current headlines, I can’t help wondering what’s in store for the financial community. Maybe a different model also?

- Excellent data profiling tutorial
Dylan Jones, the community manager of Data Quality Pro.com, posted last week an excellent tutorial on data profiling: Data Profiling for Beginners.
The tutorial provides a basic introduction to some of the common terms and techniques of data profiling, using Talend Open Profiler and a free pattern analysis tool from Data Quality Pro. It also provides a real-life sample set of property management data to help people discover and trap data defects. For people who are not experts in this field, I would highly recommend this tutorial as a starting point to discover the intricacies of data profiling.
Data Quality Pro.com is a fresh and exciting online community resource dedicated solely to data quality professionals. It features loads of tutorials, articles, tools and services to help its members only solve DQ challenges and get ahead in their career. What’s more, everything on the site is entirely free and they have told us they will be running more tutorials featuring Talend Open Profiler in the coming weeks so check it out!
We of course welcome these initiatives and are thrilled to see our latest technology be adopted to quickly. In the 3 months since it was released, Talend Open Profiler has already been downloaded more than 15,000 times (core products downloads). Join the growing group of open source data quality adopters: download Talend Open Profiler now!

- First Open World Forum: Paris, December 1st & 2nd
Open World now has its own Forum! And it’s happening in Paris on December 1st and 2nd at the Maison de la Chimie.
Take a look at the Forum’s Web Site which says:
“At the hub of the FLOSS movement, the Open World Forum provides an international venue where FLOSS community members, politicians, IT decision makers, software project managers, and leading-edge researchers and academics can meet to:
- Strengthen collaboration between all players in the FLOSS ecosystem
- Identify key trends and cross-fertilize ideas and initiatives
- Send out a clear message at the highest level about the need to consolidate research
- innovation and public sector initiatives in FLOSS.”The Open World Forum is supported by a group of communities and IT players, including consortiums (OW2 and QualiPSo), several European and French associations (Adullact, AFUL, April, Silicon Sentier), two major French competitiveness clusters (Cap Digital and System@tic), and a number of corporations. These organizations represent hundreds of communities, large enterprises, SMEs, and academics, as well as thousands of individual members across three continents. The event is also supported by both European and French public sector organizations.As a key player in the open world, Talend is pleased to support this new initiative, which will promote open source solutions all over the world.
And speaking of open source conventions - last week the Paris Capitale du Libre conference was held in Paris, following the first European Open Source Think Tank organized by the Olliance Group. Talend was there and got a lot of visibility and traction - including a nomination for Talend Open Studio in the Best Open Source Project category of the Luteces d’Or awards.
As you see, there’s a lot going on in Paris, capital of the Open Source European Champion And, though I don’t usually boast about my home country, I’m very proud that France is calling so much attention to open source.

- Crisis, what crisis?
Don’t get me wrong, my stock savings are sadly taking a beating right now and there is no doubt that we are in a financial and economical crisis on both sides of the Atlantic.
However, that has not impacted Talend’s impressive growth so far and I was wondering why. Here are a few hypotheses:
• Talend is in a growing market – Data Integration is not a “nice to have,” it is a necessity for companies to stay competitive. The volume of data to manage in a company doubles about every 18 months, crisis or not. Scalable data integration solutions remain a must.
• Talend solutions are all about business, not bell and whistles – When confronted with tough times companies are looking for aggressive ways to save money without impacting their productivity. An open source solution is the most cost-efficient business model to deliver great solutions at a great price.
• Reducing maintenance budget is good! – The recent consolidation of the data integration market has dramatically increased the price of maintenance for most companies using ‘Big Vendors’ DI software. Many customers are now interested in the cost savings offered by Talend to reduce their IT Maintenance budget. Migrating is not an easy task but can be very rewarding. We are working in offering you soon a solution that will ease the pain of migrating so stay tuned!Comments welcomed!
