Talend Named a 2011 CRN Emerging Technology Vendor

LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Talend, a global open source software leader, today announced it has been selected by Everything Channel’s CRN Magazine as a 2011 Emerging Technology Vendor. The annual list features the most innovative vendors who not only deliver technology that is easy-to-use, but can generate the high margins solution providers require. Further, Talend’s North American channels and alliances manager, Madeleine Biskintaoui, has been recognized by the publication as one of the Top 100 Women in the Channel.

“Enabling customers with the tools and strategies to solve real business problems has always been a priority to solution providers. The market has grown increasingly competitive over the years; so too has the demand for innovative, channel-friendly technologies”

Talend is one of the largest pure-play vendors of open source software, offering a breadth of middleware solutions. Recognized for providing offerings that address the needs of diverse, but intersecting disciplines including data management, application integration, SOA and more, the company has become the leader in the space. Many large organizations around the globe use Talend’s products and services to optimize the costs of data integration, data quality, Master Data Management (MDM) and application integration.

Open source software relies on a strong community, and Talend has built a first-class partner program that offers several ways of collaborating with Talend’s technology, support and sales teams. Talend takes a strategic focus that provides access to advanced tools and offers support and training to allow partners to develop their own open source data integration business.

“Enabling customers with the tools and strategies to solve real business problems has always been a priority to solution providers. The market has grown increasingly competitive over the years; so too has the demand for innovative, channel-friendly technologies,” said Kelley Damore, vice president, editorial director, Everything Channel. “From the cloud to semantic technology, this year’s list of Emerging Technology Vendors highlights the emphasis on innovation and ease of use that has been the hallmark of any successful channel offering.”

Biskintaoui has played an integral role in enhancing and extending Talend’s channel programs since she joined in 2009, bringing more than 10 years of channel experience to her position. This past year alone, Biskintaoui has led the channel program to increase indirect revenue by 200 percent and expanded its partner base by more than 40 percent. Her vision guided Talend to enhance its services for its existing partner community and establish a flexible OEM and ISV program.

“As Talend continues to experience record growth, we recognize that our channel partners are key contributors to the company’s overall success,” said Madeleine Biskintaoui. “I’m honored to receive this personal recognition from CRN and am thrilled by the acknowledgement of Talend’s thriving channel strategies and its continued successes particularly over this past year. These recognitions are a testament to Talend’s commitment to providing our partners with the technology and support they need to expand their own businesses.”
