Talend
(NASDAQ:TLND),
a global leader in cloud
and big
data integration solutions, today announced a series of new courses
to address the immediate and growing need for big data experts across
every industry. The comprehensive program includes practical training
covering everything from big data basics through to advanced topics such

their digital transformation and remain competitive in the data-driven
economy. Available immediately, the new courses detail how to maximize
the value of machine learning and data quality capabilities in the Winter
’17 release of Talend Data Fabric.
“Nurturing a data-driven workforce is critical for an organization’s
ability to innovate and stay ahead of rapidly evolving technological and
customer demands,” said Carrie Anderson, vice president of enablement at
Talend. “In response to the growing IT skills gap, we are working to
ensure professionals have the cutting-edge capabilities they need to
thrive in today’s big data marketplace. Talend customers give us high
satisfaction marks for our big data training, because we provide
practice-centered courses on realistic, clustered environments.”
A recent Gartner
skills survey found that 59 percent of IT professionals feel their
organization is unprepared to handle the demands of digital business
over the next two years.1 Between 2015 and 2016, Talend
witnessed a 49 percent increase in the number of training course
registrants as customers and partners work to scale these vital skills
within their workforce. Talend aims to keep pace with market demands and
speed time-to-value by offering training that requires fewer
prerequisites and is more broadly available to professionals with
varying levels of expertise.
Justin Mullen, co-founder and managing director of Datalytyx, a leading
provider of big data engineering, data analytics, and cloud solutions,
makes Talend training available to his internal team. “The Datalytyx
team benefits significantly from Talend’s programs - their various
courses provide detailed information on subjects that are critical to
empowering IT professionals in a way that is efficient and easy to
understand in today’s competitive, data-driven marketplace.”
Talend’s courses allow students to go hands-on in a virtual environment
using self-paced materials, or with expert instructors either online or
in a classroom, using cloud-based machines to manipulate data and
experiment with real-world business scenarios using Apache Spark and
multiple elements of the Hadoop ecosystem.

Spark without forcing them to do both
