Would you imagine e-commerce without an electronic catalog or the web without search engines? Digital transformation requires single points of access to enable a wider range of people to access a wider range of information.

The word “frictionless” has emerged as a term used to describe when an action is achieved with or involving little difficulty; it is about effortlessness. This term is most commonly associated with customer experience and payments.

In the first part of this blog two-part series, we took a deep dive on Data Shuffling techniques aiming to mix up data and allowing to optionally retain logical relationships between columns. In this second part, we will now focus on Data Masking techniques as one of the main approach to guarantee Data Privacy.

Whenever an IT system, application or personal productivity tool is used inside an organization without explicit organizational approval, we talk about shadow IT. Shadow IT is not only a security and compliance nightmare, it creates a data sprawl where each group can create its data silos.

If you have got through part 1 and part 2 of this series of blogs, there are only a few more steps to carry out before you can see the end to end flow of data and create your Heatmap. If you have not read the first two blogs, the links to the blogs are above. Although these blogs have been quite lengthy, I hope you understand that I have tried to make sure that any level of experience can achieve this. Since Pipeline Designer is a new product, I felt that it made sense to be as explicit as possible.

DNA kits like 23andMe, Helix and AncestryDNA topped holiday gift guides again this past year. Kits range in the market from $60 to $200, and they’re meant to help consumers understand family history, genealogy and can even connect unknown family members. Collecting genetic data can also have broader impacts in healthcare and justice for law enforcement.

During Summer, The Talend Blog Team will relay to share fruitful tips & to securely kick off your data project. This week, we’ll start with the first capability: make sure the data you create, develop and share within your organization stay clean and governed.

In this blog I would like to highlight a new capability from our latest 7.2 Studio and its integration with Talend Cloud in the Summer ‘19 release. While this feature could be seen as a light improvement aiming to ease the life of Talend users, it’s in fact much more than that! While Talend has been delivering CI/CD capabilities for a very long time, the continuous integration tools landscape is evolving fast.

Protecting sensitive data can be a challenging task for companies. In a connected world in which data privacy regulations are continually changing, some technics offer strong solutions for staying compliant with the latest requirements such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) in the United States or the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in Europe.

We’ve entered the era of the information economy, where data has become the most critical asset of every organization. To support business objectives such as revenue growth, profitability, and customer satisfaction, organizations are increasingly reliant on data to make decisions and drive their operations.

First of all, sorry about the delay in getting the second part of this blog written up. Things are moving very fast at Talend at the moment, which is great, but it's led to me having to delay in getting this second part out. I've been spending quite a bit of time working with the Pipeline Designer Summer 2019 release. Some really exciting additions are coming to Pipeline Designer, but we will look into those at a later date.

From its inception back in 2005 to today, Talend has always sought to be a different kind of data integration company – one rooted in open source to provide our customers with greater choice and flexibility and not afraid to change and embrace new innovations, such as multi-cloud and hybrid support and native integration with serverless cloud platforms.

Talend 7.1 brings in many new features, one such feature which needs a special discussion is containerization, which opens the doors to design and implement new Architectures namely Microservices. With a Maven plugin the Studio is now able to Build and Publish standard Jobs as Docker images into a Docker registry.
