New Courses for Data Preparation and Data Mapping Help Customers
Optimize Information Usage and Comply with Health Level Seven Standards
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 11, 2017--
Talend
(NASDAQ:
TLND), a global leader in cloud
and big
data integration solutions, today announced new courses designed to
help advance developers’ skills with cutting-edge cloud and big data
technologies. Available immediately, the new
courses are based on practical exercises that maximize employees’
expertise with tools for data mapping and data preparation in the cloud.
The new courses demonstrate Talend’s commitment to cultivating a skilled
workforce that will thrive in the new information age and help further
companies’ digital transformation initiatives.
“Keeping pace with modern technologies is challenging for companies of
all sizes. While innovation fuels powerful business opportunities, it
also creates skills gaps in areas such as cloud and big data--where the
demand for skilled workers is especially high,” said Carrie Anderson, VP
of Enablement at Talend. “Data-driven companies need to develop their
workforce to keep pace with rapidly evolving market needs and emerging
technologies. Thus, training courses that give developers hands-on
experience with the latest cloud and big data tools help give companies
a competitive advantage.”
There are currently over 600,000 open computing jobs across the U.S.,
but only roughly 43,000—or seven percent—of the population is qualified
to fill those roles1. The National Federation of Independent
Business found that as of first-quarter 2017, 45
percent of small businesses reported they were unable to find
qualified applicants to fill job openings. If these types of jobs go
unfilled, businesses will expand more slowly, and U.S. growth will be
impacted.
Critical additions to the Talend training portfolio include Data
Preparation Cloud, and two advanced Talend Data Mapper courses, to
help developers work with complex hierarchical data. Talend
Data Mapper Advanced-Spark trains participants to leverage the speed
of Spark processing on hierarchical data. Talend
Data Mapper Advanced—HL7 teaches participants how to process data
using the Health Level Seven standard. HL7 is used in the exchange,
integration, sharing, and retrieval of electronic health information
between doctor’s offices, hospitals, insurance companies, and
laboratories that support the delivery and evaluation of health services.
Healthcare provider organizations have several different computer
systems used for a broad range of functions from billing records to
tracking patient lab results. These systems are required to communicate
with one another to exchange patient information. HL7 helps ensure that
all data or messages transferred from one system to another are
completed correctly, free of errors and while keeping patient
information secure.
Advantages of Talend’s training courses include:
-
A live software environment that gives developers hands-on exercises
for real-world scenarios
-
The option for instruction via self-paced materials or by expert
instructors either online or in a classroom
-
Emphasis on the most significant tasks required by different roles
-
Abundant practice, providing faster development of necessary industry
skills
