Exactly five years ago, on October 5, 2006, a new product was born in the R&D labs of Talend.* Talend Open Studio was born under a good star that would soon see it rise to the pinnacle of the most widely used data integration technology in the world.
Fast track to today. With over 15 million total downloads in the world, Talend Open Studio is now being downloaded twice per minute. Over 750,000 users are leveraging this groundbreaking technology for their data integration tasks. And, very importantly also, the business that Talend has built on top of this cornerstone technology sustains 400 employees in 8 countries and counts today over 2,500 paying enterprise customers.
Along the way, Talend Open Studio has won multiple awards and recognitions (for more, please visit our
Wall of Fame):
- Visionary in Gartner’s Magic Quadrant
- Three BOSSIE awards, three years in a row
- Intelligent Enterprise’s Editors’ Choice ward
- Infoworld’s Technology of the Year
- BeyeNETWORK’s Vision Impact Award
- SourceForge’s Community Choice Awards
- Computerworld’s Horizon Award

Today, Talend Open Studio is still the cornerstone of our technology.* Multiple products have been built either on top of it or to complement it – but the first thing users see when they launch any of these products is our user friendly, Eclipse-based studio.
On this birthday, I would like to thank especially the entire Talend engineering team who are working hard to continue to build our technology, our community who is really helping us keep up with the requirements of our users, and of course the rest of the Talend teams (sales, marketing, consulting, admin, etc.) who are making our business a success and hence allow us to continue to fund the development of the products.
