Talend Reports Growth in VAR Partner Program for Big Data Resellers

Talend‘s VAR program, which promotes integration of its open source big data products in the European market, continues to grow, according to new data released by the company.

Talend launched its VAR program in March 2015. The offering provides access to marketing tools, technical support and training for resellers interested in integrating Talend’s data analysis products, which are based on open source platforms like Hadoop.

At the one-year mark, Talend’s VAR program includes thirty resellers partners, the company said in a report released Thursday. Among them are businesses like Datalytyx, which is deploying Talend software for creating data lakes and a compliance system.

The company says the growth exceeds expectations set at the time of the program’s launch. “Our VAR program has produced fantastic growth and momentum since it kicked off, enabling us to keep pace with the surge in product demand we are experiencing,” said François Mero, senior vice president of sales EMEA, Talend. “Importantly, our VAR program is empowering participants to expand their relationships with existing customers, acquire new clients and drive new and recurring streams of revenue.”

For now, Talend’s VAR offering remains regional and still of moderate size. But its steady growth over the past year highlights continuing demand for reseller offerings within the big data market. As open source big data analytics tools continue to mature and diversify, this is sure to remain an area of healthy expansion.
