LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Talend, the global big data integration software leader, has announced it is working with Blue Yonder, a leading provider of SaaS-based predictive analytics. This enables business customers to make faster and more accurate demand forecasts, saving costs and driving up profits as a direct result.
Using Talend connectors to any source, Talend’s native big data integration solution enables businesses to extract data for use in Forward Demand, Blue Yonder’s SaaS-based demand planning and forecasting solution. By integrating increased data volumes more quickly into Forward Demand customers obtain faster and more precise results.
Blue Yonder and Talend are working together on a range of projects, delivering joint solutions to customers. The two companies are collaborating on projects in numerous sectors including retail, banking, finance, utilities and a range of other vertical markets.
“Working with Talend will bring far-reaching benefits both to ourselves and to our customers,” said Ralf Werneth, senior manager alliances, Blue Yonder. “Historically, we connected to our customers’ data sources using custom interfaces. Data Integration was time-consuming but required to enable access to additional resources of data,” he added. “Thanks to Talend’s next generation integration capability our customers can significantly reduce custom development. For the customer, this translates directly into reduced development costs, associated maintenance and improved time-to-value.”
François Chiche, vice president, alliances at Talend said: “Our partnership with Blue Yonder highlights once again the power of big data. Talend collects the data Blue Yonder and its customers need and makes it available to them. Blue Yonder’s strength is supporting data driven decision management and its SaaS Solution Forward Demand delivers precise forecasts from massive volumes of data in real time. It’s a perfect fit.”
The companies will show their joint solution portfolio throughout a series of upcoming events and webinars. For more information or to register, visit: http://www.talend.com/resources/event.
