Praise and Funding for Talend
January 19, 2014
Talend is a favored maker for XML data processing software and recently we read about “XML Data Processing Using Talent Open Studio” on Rohit Menon’s blog. Manon was working on a Netflix search engine project called Flicksery. He pulls his data from the Netflix catalog XML file and Talend Open Studio helps him analyze the data embedded in the file. In his post he explains how he used the software to pull the data and what neat features it has.
Talend also rounded up $40 million in funding from Bpifrance and Iris Capital. The news comes from IT Business Edge in the article, “Talend Lands $40 Million In Funding.” Bpifrance is the French government’s investment branch and they are the main initiator for the funding. A large portion of the funding is supposed to push Talend further into big data market.
Mike Tuchen, Talend CEO, said about the funding efforts:
“ ‘They [French government] look for innovative high growth companies with a strong presence in France, especially ones in targeted areas were they see huge opportunity like Big Data,” Tuchen said. “With this in mind Talend was a perfect fit, so it’s not surprising that they found us.’ ”
We have known that Talend was trying to promote its name in big data for a while. Projects like Flicksery demonstrates its software’s capabilities and we think it is just the beginning of something bigger.
