Talend - Open Source
by camel
alend's open source approach breaks rank with the traditional principles of the enterprise software and ETL tools markets.
By publishing the code of its core and base modules under GPL license, Talend offers the developer community the possibility to improve the product and make enhancements that everyone can benefit from.
Nevertheless, Talend will not solely rely on the open source community for product evolution. The company integrate its own R&D team to drive the road map and development cycles for future versions.
Talend dedicates 70% of its resources to research and development.
In selecting Perl as the development language and completely opening the solution, Talend is ensuring the robustness of its products and services. It is highly unlikely that any of the proprietary solution vendors would be able to make similar claims and risk becoming absorbed, merged or diluted.
