According to a new article out of the company, “Talend, a global leader in big data integration software, today introduced Talend Data Preparation, a self-service application that enables business users to simplify and expedite the often laborious and time consuming process of data wrangling or the data manipulation and analysis tasks that are often performed while using spreadsheets. Available immediately as a free download, the open source desktop application allows users to explore, cleanse, enrich and combine data from different sources in minutes instead of hours using intuitive, drag-and-drop tools, smart guides and automated processing functions. The result is that employees throughout an organization, from field marketing, sales, operations to finance, can quickly and easily turn data into informed business actions.”
Ciaran Dynes, vice president of products at Talend, commented, “While many companies have made good progress on their path to becoming more data driven, a major stumbling block is often the last mile of the journey as companies work to get accurate and actionable information in the hands of more business users… Talend Data Preparation helps bridge this gap by alleviating the common challenges of overburdened IT teams that can’t keep up with the growing data demands of the business, and data analysts who are all too frequently spending more time wrangling data than they are supplying insights.”
