About Talend S.A.

Talend S.A. is an enterprise software company focused on data integration and data management. Founded in 2005, Talend initially built its reputation through an open-source approach before expanding into commercial offerings designed to help organizations industrialize data flows at scale. The company’s operational headquarters are in Redwood City, California, in the United States, and its shares were listed on the US NASDAQ market under the ticker TLND prior to the company’s acquisition by Qlik. For European investors, the key point is that Talend operated within the United States capital markets and the broader US technology ecosystem. Talend’s core business centered on the Talend Data Fabric platform, which was built to collect, transform, cleanse, govern, and share data across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises environments. Its main product lines covered data integration, data quality, data governance, data preparation, and certain application and API integration capabilities. The investment case historically rested on a simple but powerful value proposition: helping enterprises improve the reliability, consistency, and usability of their data so they can strengthen analytics, compliance, automation, and business decision-making. In a highly competitive software market, Talend became widely recognized as a specialist in data integration and data management, competing with large enterprise software vendors and cloud platform providers. From a competitive standpoint, Talend built a strong reputation as a “data fabric” specialist and as a vendor capable of unifying heterogeneous data environments. Its platform evolved to address the shift toward cloud and multi-cloud architectures, with integrations and partnerships across major ecosystems such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Snowflake. That positioning made Talend relevant to multinational customers across financial services, industrials, public sector, and other data-intensive industries where data quality, lineage, and governance are mission-critical. Talend’s geographic footprint was international, with operations and go-to-market activity across North America, Europe, and Asia. The most important recent corporate event was the acquisition of Talend by Qlik, announced and completed in 2023, which brought Talend’s data integration, quality, and governance capabilities into a broader data and analytics portfolio. Talend also highlighted continued recognition in the 2023 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, underscoring the strength of its market positioning before being folded into Qlik. For investors, Talend should therefore be viewed as a former US-listed technology specialist whose value proposition was driven by structural demand for trusted, governed data and whose platform was ultimately absorbed into a larger software group.
