As organizations continue to embrace cloud-based computing as the cornerstone of their digital transformation, the integration platform as a service (iPaaS) has become a critical component of their integration environments.

Accelerating the journey to healthy data with pervasive data quality
Success for any business starts with data that is easily discoverable, understandable, and of value to the people who need it. We call this type of data “healthy data.” You should look at a wide set of measures and metrics to determine whether data is healthy or not, but at the core of all healthy data is a high level of quality.
With the tsunami of data coming from an ever-expanding number of sources, delivering high-quality data is bound to remain a massive challenge for any organization.
And they’re not ready for it. Tradi ..read more

For background on Cosmo, Chief Destiny Officer, and his alternative methods, read the earlier posts in this series about The role of a CDO and Customer Segmentation.
Predicting the future always sounds a little magical, but we were intrigued to meet a CDO who says he actually makes business forecasts using magic instead of modeling.
While at Talend we work exclusively with healthy data, we’ve always wondered what goes on at organizations that don’t rely on data for business decisions. This time, we’re asking Cosmo about what must be one of the most important business functions at any organizat ..read more

Cosmo, CDO is not a Chief Data Officer — he’s a Chief Destiny Officer.

#1 The role of a CDO
Have you ever wished you had a crystal ball? We tracked down a CDO who actually uses one. See, Cosmo, CDO is not a Chief Data Officer — he’s a Chief Destiny Officer. We’re all about data at Talend, but sometimes it’s good to see things from another perspective. We sat down with Cosmo to ask him about his job, his background, and his methods.
Can you tell us more about your role?
Like any CDO, I’m responsible for driving business outcomes. I do that by listening to my community, creating dialog, innovating new processes, and offering insights that help leaders make ..read more

The reason: when it comes to sleep, precision is critical. The company wanted to create the world’s best mattresses and sell the ..read more

“The data integration tool market is seeing renewed momentum, driven by requirements for hybrid and multi-cloud data integration, augmented data management, and data fabric designs.” This is what Gartner assesses in its latest Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools* report.
And that assessment makes perfect sense. Data is the lifeblood of an organization. However, according to Harvard Business Review, the most common complaint from people in different parts of a business is that it’s difficult to obtain even the most basic data. Without data, leaders cannot make informed decisions, thus put ..read more
