In today's fast-paced, data-driven world, deeper data insights and faster time to value are paramount if you want your business to stay competitive and thrive. Decision-makers need instant access to all their data sources to make sound business decisions — and they need to have trust in their data. However, data quality is often overlooked. According to Gartner, poor data quality costs organizations an average of $12.9 million annually. What’s going on?

At three full days and nearly 4,000 registered attendees, Gartner Data & Analytics Summit 2023 in London was the largest data and analytics summit in EMEA to date. That much interest in data and analytics thrills us, of course — but it was also exciting because it was one of our first major events following the announcement that Talend has been acquired by Qlik. There was a lot to talk about!

By now, you should have read the headlines that Qlik's acquisition of Talend is complete, and we're excited to expand our best-in-class capabilities to help you access, transform, trust, analyze, and take action with your data. You might have seen Mike Capone's QlikWorld keynote or the recent "What's Next is Now" webinar and wondered how to leverage these new capabilities in your organization.

Have you ever been in a meeting and wondered how something is calculated? Or what another department’s acronym means? Or how that topic is actually defined? In some moments, you don’t need the data itself — you just need the definition of a data term. In that situation, you want the ability to look up a term in a business glossary (or data glossary) as quickly and simply as possible.

As CEO of Qlik, I have never been more excited about the market, our strategic vision, and the value we bring customers all around the world. We have always been focused on looking forward and providing the most comprehensive and trusted solutions to our customers. Now, with Talend's cloud data integration and data quality solutions, we can offer even more.

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.
