Talend Unified Platform

Best-of-breed data integration, data quality and MDM solutions unified in one single platform

The Talend Unified Platform is the first open data management
platform that unites all data management disciplines within
a single solution. Talend’s best-of-breed Data Integration,
Data Quality, and Master Data Management solutions are
integrated in the Talend Unified Platform which delivers
unprecedented improvements in resource optimization and
utilization, and project consistency.
Additionally, most organizations face issues to define
which application maintains the “right” data and therefore
need to implement data governance and data stewardship
workflows to ensure that “a single version of the truth” is
used throughout the organization’s information system.
All these intermixed operations benefit from a single
development environment.

Life Cycle
Talend Unified Platform Platform

The Talend Unified Platform provides:

• A single development studio based on Eclipse, which

provides users with consistent ergonomics, fast learning
curve and a high-level of reusability.
• A common metadata repository that promotes sharing
of vital data management assets.
• A unified deployment environment that includes a
distributed and high availability execution paradigm,
single monitoring console and real-time execution
reporting.
• Roles based security for a centralized user and access
right management.
Single Development Studio
Data integration, data quality and master data management
projects are closely intermixed and depend on one another.
For example, an integration project relies on data profiling
analyses to identify non-standard or corrupted data. To
process and correct this data, cleansing processes are
required to ensure the quality of the data before it gets
integrated, migrated or synchronized across applications.
The Studio environment, based on Eclipse, allows
developers to perform data profiling, create data integration
processes, and design master data models from the same
workspace. Talend’s data integration, data quality and
master data management solutions are integrated in the
Studio as various perspectives, and you can easily switch
to each other, in a one-click process.
This accelerates dramatically the learning curve of the
solutions and allows the versatility of the developers.
Objects such as transformation and validation rules,
business rules, expressions, variables, joblets, etc. can
be easily reused from one project to the other, promoting
development standards and best practice.
Shared Metadata Manager
The Shared Metadata Manager consolidates all project
information and enterprise metadata in a centralized
repository shared by all stakeholders, from developers to
business users and IT operations.
Information shared in the Metadata Manager includes user
data such as Jobs, profiling analyses or data models, but
also application metadata related to the connection to a
source or target file, database, application or any system.
This central repository also stores business models, that help
you orchestrate and sequence the various quality, integration
or management processes at a business user level.
Business rules, transformation and validation rules as
well as workflows can also be centralized in this metadata
manager, in order to streamline processes and promote
best practices.
This means that all information for data integration, data
quality and master data management projects, whether
related to source and target connectivity, to database
profiling or to the actual project logic, is stored in the same
shared repository.
Cross project data lineage and impact analysis are also
available throughout the repository in order to help you
track data through the information system and understand
the impact of a change on data structure or transformation
processes.
This shared repository facilitates collaboration between
team members, storing all information in an industry-
standard source manager (SVN) that supports versioning
and can easily be configured through a web-based console.
This centralization of execution and administration streamlines
the deployment of the various data quality, integration,
management processes developed through the Studio but
also eases the work of IT Operations who are monitoring
mission critical data management processes.
The use of SVN as source manager allows extended
versioning of projects, processes, analyses, business rules
and all items stored centrally in the Metadata Manager.
Additionally the integration of Active Directory allows the
central administration of users and rights, based on roles,
improving security management across all Talend’s solutions.
Unified Life Cycle Platform
Talend Life Cycle Platform provides extension capabilities
for enterprise-wide projects and deployments. Composed
of three modules, Talend Audit, Talend Testing Platform &
Talend Repository Manager, Talend LCP addresses
requirements to test, audit and manage processes and
repositories. From the unified Repository Manager, you are
able to manage cross-project migration and versioning of
all data integration as well as data quality processes from
the same web-based console.

Unified Deployment Environment

All data integration, data quality and master data management
processes can be deployed, executed and managed through
the same environment, the Talend Administration Center.
This Web-based central console offers friendly ergonomics
and fast-refresh capability across all data quality, data
integration and master data management modules.

Unified Support, Single Vendor

Talend is the only open source vendor that provides a single
point of support for all its distributed products. All products
benefit from the Community support via our Forum,
moderated by technical experts who are directly involved
with Talend’s Research & Development department. In
addition, Talend’s Technical Support Centers provide
prompt, effective, high quality support services for all Talend
subscription products via a dedicated unified portal. © 2010 Talend. All rights reserved.

The same console gives access to the Data Quality portal’s

reporting and analysis capabilities, helping organizations
to support data quality enterprise-wide. It provides direct
access to Talend MDM’s Web interface, allowing you to
address data governance and stewardship issues. And
from the same console you can always manage, schedule
and administrate the execution and deployment of your
data management processes.
