Talend, a provider of cloud and big data integration solutions, has opened its office in Bangalore, India, to address regional sales opportunities.
The new office has members of Talend’s customer success team, including professional services, who will provide support and training to the surrounding regions and to the many global Talend customers and System Integrators (SIs).
Talend’s India team also includes sales representatives who will help meet the growing opportunity for Talend solutions in the region spurred by the aggressive move by public and private companies towards digitalization.
Indian CIOs list digital business and growth or market share as their enterprises’ strategic business priority through 2017, according to Gartner. Indian CIOs say it more emphatically: 37 percent listed digital business as a top priority vs. 28 percent of top performers (and 21 percent of global respondents).
“Talend’s new office in Bangalore puts us closer to the development teams of many of our largest customers. It will also be helpful as we continue to deepen and expand our relationships with large SI partners like Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant and Wipro that all have a significant presence in India,” said Mike Tuchen, Talend CEO.
Based on current commitments from leading SIs, Talend expects the number of consultants trained in 2017 to more than triple 2016 totals. Growth in the number of trained Talend consultants will help SIs address their customer demand for skilled big data and cloud resources to support digital transformation.
