Denver, CO (PRWEB) April 14, 2008 – Yves de Montcheuil, Vice President of Marketing of Talend, recently participated in an exclusive interview with Ron Powell and the Business Intelligence Network (www.BeyeNETWORK.com). In this interview, Montcheuil explains how Talend shatters the traditional proprietary model by supplying open, innovative and powerful software solutions with the flexibility to meet the data integration needs of all types of organizations.

“Data integration is becoming more and more pervasive in information systems and expanding beyond business intelligence,” says Yves de Montcheuil, Vice President of Marketing for Talend. “When deploying data integration solutions, organizations are often faced with issues such as high licensing and deployment costs, lengthy learning curves and vendor lock-in. By introducing open source into the data integration equation, Talend alleviates the majority of these issues, and makes data integration available to all organizations, for all their integration needs, including business intelligence, data synchronization, migration and replication.”

“Open source is different from proprietary software in that there is no licensing cost, but the main advantage is no vendor lock-in,” says Ron Powell, Cofounder and Editorial Director of the Business Intelligence Network. “Talend provides open source extract, transform and load solutions for business intelligence as well as operational data integration.”
