Our team is dedicated to helping companies achieve their technology goals by leveraging the agility, breadth of services, and pace of innovation that AWS provides.”

Talend Cloud provides over 900 transactional, operational, and analytic data connectors and components which can be used to quickly connect load and process data from virtually any source into AWS. Talend’s unique capabilities provide a single platform with data quality and governance capabilities built in. Data engineers, ETL developers, and business analysts use Talend to create consistent and trusted data for the enterprise.

“We chose Talend Cloud Data Quality because, out of the box, it had all of the routines we needed to implement our data,” said Lee Wilmore, Data Intelligence Director at TI Media. “In our short 60-day window, TI Media was able to implement Talend Cloud Data Quality on a Snowflake database in AWS. Talend is easy to use and the cleaning and deduplication functions are built in. We built the cleaning process in about five minutes. I’ve bought many systems over the years and I’ve never seen three systems work together so easily and in such a frictionless way.”

AWS is enabling scalable, flexible, and cost-effective solutions from startups to global enterprises. To support the seamless integration and deployment of these solutions, AWS established the AWS Competency Program to help customers identify Consulting and Technology APN Partners with deep industry experience and expertise.
