BF&M Selects Talend for Rapid Data Migration

“With the data volume and complexity associated with our legacy system, BF&M required a data migration and integration tool to relieve our developers from trying to hand code a solution,” said Paul Matthews, vice president, information technology. “Talend Integration Suite was a clear winner against other ETL tools, seamlessly migrating and modifying data from the legacy application to Wynsure. We cut the project development time by approximately 70% with Talend compared to what it would have taken without an ETL tool.”

Initially, Talend was deployed as a critical tool for BF&M’s data migration project; however the solution is now being used for far more than originally conceived. BF&M conducts a great deal of data integration work with partners, such as transportation departments, banks and health authorities throughout Bermuda. It has expanded the use of Talend and its powerful ETL functionality, making it the central hub for all data integration requirements for BF&M’s production systems.

“BF&M is a perfect illustration for how Talend’s open source data management solutions are being adopted by companies of any size in virtually every industry to help them better manage and drive value from their critical information assets,” said Vincent Pineau, Talend’s vice president and general manager, Americas. “Talend’s model combines the most cost effective solution with the most advanced features, fully meeting BF&M’s requirements.”
