During QlikWorld ’23 in Las Vegas, we were thrilled to announce the general availability of Data Console in Talend Data Inventory. With data-driven decision making becoming more crucial for organizations, it’s never been more important for users to have access to high quality data.

In a world where 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are created every day, it’s not surprising that organizations want to harness the power of being data-driven. In our 2022 Data Health Barometer, 99% of companies surveyed recognized that data is crucial for success — but 97% said they face challenges in using data effectively. Perhaps in response to those challenges, 65% of companies reported that they'd started a data literacy program.

In this blog post, we'll take a closer look at what's new in this latest release and how it can benefit you. Here's a quick overview of what's new in Winter '23 for Stitch: Let's dive into each of these new capabilities in more detail.

We recognize that extracting the most return from your data isn’t always easy. In fact, for many organizations, it rarely is. According to a recent survey, 97% of respondents said they face challenges using data effectively. And NewVantage Partners found that only 24% of executives say their organizations are data-driven. There are simply too many data sources, too much data volume, and too few resources for these organizations to effectively manage the growing demand for trusted data.

Prepping for a sales kick-off puts the focus on an organization’s customers unlike any other event. There is no selling — or success — without understanding and fulfilling the needs of our prospects and customers. As our gathering in Nashville last month proved, Talend is laser-focused on meeting customers wherever they are in their data journey, with everything they need to solve their most pressing data management challenges.

More than 1,000 connectors and components in Talend Cloud put powerful graphical tools at your fingertips to connect databases, big data sources, on-premises data, and cloud applications.

The growth of big data has scattered data sources throughout the enterprise, tucking them away in silos and making them hard to find. But there is more to data than just storing information in an operational data store or running analytics from a data warehouse. For example, regulated industries have requirements needing tighter control over the data.

Eneria, a subsidiary of the Monnoyeur Group, is a leader in energy production and motorization solutions. As the exclusive Caterpillar dealer in France, they have developed notable and unique expertise in the field of generator sets, Caterpillar generators, inverters, and engines. As a well-established industry leader with over 870 employees across dozens of departments, Eneria knows the pivotal importance of interdepartmental communication — not just between employees, but between data.

Mapping source columns with a data destination is arduous and time-consuming. Data fields can come from many source types and formats. Even though you are the expert on your datasets, you may require the assistance of IT to set up the mapping. However, the more sources, the more handoffs, the higher the possibility of errors. As organizational data has become more dispersed and voluminous across organizations and applications, it's more important than ever to ensure that you understand your data.

In its 2022 Magic Quadrant™ for Data Quality Solutions report, Gartner® emphasizes the “importance of having a critical approach toward managing the health and fitness of data.” We agree that “poor data quality completely destroys business value.” Organizations simply cannot afford for data quality to be an afterthought. And if you’re currently in the process of evaluating data solutions for your organization, this report can help.
