Talend open source data integration goes real-time

Open source data integration software specialist Talend has released a new real-time data integration platform for enterprise application integration.

Based on the firm's data integration platform, Talend Integration Suite RTX is designed to provide users with up-to-the-minute information and ensure data remains consistent.

"As the speed of business increases, IT organisations need to provide efficient and reliable technology to ensure the consistency of data across the information system, and its immediate availability for efficient decision-making," said Fabrice Bonan, co-founder and COO of Talend.

For instance, Talend suggested RTX could be used by online merchants to make promotional offers on-the-fly, based on user behaviour, resulting in more targeted offers with better response rates.

RTX supports SOA management, which Talend said can be used to automate the deployment of integration processes either as data integration services or data services. It also offers event-based execution, which can be used for data integration.
