Visionary Talend Looks to the Future
October 24, 2013
Talend is a visionary, according to research firm Gartner. Virtual-Strategy Magazine reveals, “Talend Positioned as a Visionary in the Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools.” To land in the annual report’s Visionaries column, Gartner says, companies must “understand where the market is going or have a vision for changing market rules.” The report cites two Talend products as evidence of the company’s foresight: their Open Studio for Data Quality and their Platform for Data Management.
Apparently Talend’s vision includes fresh leadership, for hard on the heels of the above press release came another, “Talend Appoints Mike Tuchen as CEO” posted at 4-traders. The write-up explains why Tuchen is their choice for the company’s next phase:
“Prior to joining Talend, Tuchen served as the CEO of Rapid7 and led the company through an exponential growth, dramatically expanding its marketing, sales, partnerships and product line. A former Microsoft executive and seasoned marketing and product strategist, he also served as the General Manager of Microsoft’s SQL Server Marketing team, helping grow that business from $1.5 billion to $2.5 billion. Tuchen is also a board member of ThousandEyes.”
Already a leader in open source data management, Talend boosted that standing in 2010 with its acquisition of Sopera. The company supplies data-management and application-integration middleware to organizations of all sizes. They cite their scalable platform, flexible architecture, and easy-to-use tools as reasons they have grown to serve more than 4,000 enterprise customers. Talend was founded in 2005, and is based in Los Altos, California.
