At Talend, we tend to describe poorly organized, unhealthy data as “digital landfills.” But we don’t often talk about actual landfills. That’s right, the ones filled with trash. As anyone watching real estate prices will know, land is a finite resource. It’s crazy to think that we’re still dedicating land to storing our garbage, where it will sit releasing pollutants and greenhouse gases for decades to come.

I am so pleased to announce that Talend has acquired Gamma Soft, a change data capture market innovator. This is a significant enhancement in the capabilities Talend can provide its customers and partners. Talend’s company vision is to take the work out of working with data, and we're thrilled to add Gamma Soft’s technology to our offerings to do this. Change data capture (CDC) technology is highly sought after by many companies.

A global leader in pharmaceuticals found themselves faced with a unique spin on a common challenge: Their biopharmaceutical division — responsible for producing vaccines and generating over $1 billion in annual sales — was struggling to turn raw data into trusted insights. Data underlies everything the global pharmaceutical company does, however, without data they can trust, they would be at risk of taking longer to get vaccines to market and incurring higher expenses along the way.

We’re thrilled to announce Talend Data Catalog 8, our most powerful data governance solution yet. Talend Data Catalog 8 builds on our strong foundation of metadata management and data cataloging capabilities to deliver what businesses need most: healthy data. At Talend, healthy data is data that supports business objectives, and is often the missing link between business success and failure.
