Talend and BonitaSoft Sign an OEM Partnership

PARIS, March 2, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Talend, the recognized leader in open source data integration solutions, announced today a strategic OEM partnership with BonitaSoft, the leading vendor of open source business process management solutions (BPMS). As part of this agreement, Talend will integrate Bonita Open Solution, the BonitaSoft BPM solution, as OEM in its Talend MDM Enterprise Edition product.

BonitaSoft, the leading vendor of open source business process management solutions (BPMS), was created in 2009 by the founders of the Bonita open source project. The company's goal is to democratize BPM, that is to make an open source solution available to businesses of all sizes that is easy, powerful and capable of integrating very easily in the information system, regardless of the project's level of complexity or criticality. The software has already been downloaded more than 225,000 times worldwide and has become, with the official launch of Bonita Open Solution 5.0 in January 2010, the leading open source solution comparable to the proprietary products on the market such as Lombardi, IBM, Oracle, Tibco or Pega.

By including Bonita Open Solution in Talend MDM Enterprise Edition, Talend is today able to offer its clients complex workflow management functions, allowing, for example, to manage a data validation process and enhance or modify existing reference data.

"MDM projects increasingly require efficient workflow and data validation process management. The fact that a player like Talend, which has succeeded in establishing itself as a leader in data integration in less than two years, chose our product for its new MDM solution is further recognition of the validity of our strategy," states Miguel Valdes Faura, co-founder and CEO of BonitaSoft. "This partnership reinforces the ties that have connected our two companies in the past. Since our inception, Talend has supported our operations and today we are happy to provide Talend with an important technology layer for its product. We share the same taste for innovation and therefore we are going to work together in the future to further develop our respective solutions."

"Previously only accessible to large businesses, BPM is available through BonitaSoft, which shares various similarities with Talend: open source model, same technology foundation (Java, Eclipse), rupture strategy and desire to simplify our clients' work," comments Bertrand Diard, co-founder and CEO of Talend. "The data quality, MDM and data stewardship processes require this process automation function and we have chosen to integrate the best open source BPM solution to our MDM business solution. Bonita Open Solution allows us to complete our technology product to meet our clients' needs."

Note: Talend and BonitaSoft will present their solutions at the Solutions Linux 2010 exhibition in Paris, France from March 16-18 at the C25 stand.
