BF&M Adds Talend ESB To Portfolio
Talend, the California- and French-headquartered open source software manufacturer, today [Dec.15] announced that Bermuda insurance group BF&M has added Talend ESB Enterprise Edition to its portfolio of Talend integration solutions.
BF&M Insurance Group, one of the leading insurance companies in Bermuda, provides property/casualty insurance, life, health and pension products both here and Barbados.
As a general insurer, the company offers all forms of property, casualty, motor and marine insurance products.
Due to the complexity of maintaining constantly changing customer service databases and underwriting policies for such a wide range of insurance offerings, BF&M chose Talend ESB Enterprise Edition to expand their application and data integration capabilities.
BF&M conducts significant data integration work with partners such as transportation departments, banks and health authorities throughout Bermuda.
“They initially used Talend as the critical data integration tool for BF&M’s data migration project, chosen for its ease-of-use, productivity gains, data manipulation features and on-the-fly recording capabilities,” said a Talend spokesman. “Now Talend’s solutions are being used far more holistically: with Talend ESB, BF&M has expanded the use of the Talend Unified Platform, making it the single platform for all integration requirements for BF&M’s production systems.”
Paul Matthews, BF&M’s vice president of information technology, said: “When it came time to choose an ESB solution, there was no contest. Our experience and success with Talend’s data integration solutions has proven that their products provide the best combination of flexibility and ease of use.
“With Talend ESB Enterprise Edition, we are already seeing increased productivity and improvements in the way our business functions.”
Talend is a market leader in open source middleware solutions. The company has mMore than 2,500 customers around the globe, including eBay, Virgin Mobile and Sony Online Entertainment.
Talend ESB enables developers to easily build reliable, scalable and secure REST, Web and data services to quickly integrate heterogeneous IT environments, both on-premise and in the cloud.
Moreover, Talend ESB is open and standards-based to allow wide interoperability with existing and legacy infrastructure components. Used as part of the Talend Unified Platform, Talend ESB allows developers to combine application integration with data management needs, empowering businesses to cope with the complexity of data exchanges in an increasingly connected world.
“Increasingly, companies like BF&M are turning away from the complexity and cost of heavyweight proprietary infrastructure software in favour of agile and open alternatives,” said Francois Mero, vice president of global sales, Talend. “Talend’s holistic approach to integration proves time and again that it is the ideal choice to serve as the basis for addressing any integration challenge — from simple departmental projects to complex, heterogeneous IT environments.”
In addition to selecting Talend ESB Enterprise Edition, BF&M is considering other products in the Talend portfolio, including Talend MDM Enterprise Edition, the leading open source Master Data Management (MDM) solution, as well as Talend’s recently-announced Talend Enterprise BPM for process integration. These products are also part of the Talend Unified Platform.
