Solutions
WELLINGTON, New Zealand, 11 Aug. /NZPA-AsiaNet/ --
Enables Out-of-the-Box Business Decision Integration
August 10, 2010 Idiom, the most business centric rules development tool in the market, today announced a
partnership with Talend, the recognized market leader in open source data management software. Under the
partnership Idiom Decision Models can be easily integrated with Talend solutions using a new component that
makes the Decision Models directly available to Talend solution developers.
Talend's open source data management solutions empower Talend's users and customers to streamline and
reduce the complexity of their critical data management projects, resulting in higher productivity, lower operational
costs and greater insight into their vital informational assets. By providing integration with Idiom generated Decision
Models, business managers and analysts can now extend the functionality available within Talend solutions to
include more application centric business functions like approvals, pricing, scoring, prioritizing, and other complex
business validations and calculations. Talend is extending value for its customers by deriving additional importance
out of data assets within the industry's leading databases.
"Our goal is to identify partners who are looking for cost optimized, high performance data management solutions
to extend the value of their products and Idiom fits perfectly within this model", said Vincent Pineau, General
Manager, Americas. "We will continue to work closely with them on further technology integration that will meet the
needs of companies of virtually any size across a broad range of industries."
"Talend is a recognized leader in the data management space and their tools allow highly productive model driven
development of data integration and transformation solutions. By extending these solutions with plug'n'play
application logic, Idiom is extending the range of solutions that can be built using Talend's highly scalable and
versatile data management framework," said Mark Norton, Idiom Product Director. "This partnership further
supports Idiom's commitment to empowering business users to directly control the business decision-making that is
applied to their business data."
Under the partnership, both companies will continue to collaborate on sales, marketing and product integration.
Idiom provides a Talend Component to allow process designers to easily integrate Idiom-generated Decision
Models into Talend solutions - the component is available free within the distributed Talend toolset or from Idiom's
customer resources site.
"Idiom customers are clamoring to connect their own and third party decision models directly to data sources,
including databases and feeds. By using Talend to acquire, route, and transform data, Idiom users can easily apply
their proprietary decision making to large volumes of data. We see a strong and immediate need for solutions like
this in areas including health administration, superannuation and funds management, and audit and compliance.
The partnership with Talend provides this capability today," said Norton.
Idiom Decision Models are provided as source code for free distribution across any number of Talend solutions and
users. The Idiom Decision Manager is freely downloadable from Idiom's website. Idiom normally makes a small
charge for generating the source code, but Talend users can obtain unlimited free code generation for three
months by entering 'TALEND' into the campaign reference on the Idiom registration form.
