USA-based cloud and big data integration solutions company Talend has appointed Redington Value as the value-added distributor for the Middle East and Africa region.
Headquartered in Redwood City, CA, USA ,Talend provides big data and cloud integration solutions that helps companies become data driven by making data more accessible, improving its quality and quickly moving data where it’s needed for real-time decision making. By simplifying big data through these steps, the vendor enables companies to act with insight based on accurate, real-time information about their business, customers, and industry.
The Talend VAD programme is part of the firm’s growing alliances and technology network programme that is designed to accelerate the technical and sales development of specialist VARs, SIs and general resellers wishing to enter the rapidly growing market for data management and big data solutions.
Talend has built a global partner programme to help solve the complex integration challenges that face today’s enterprise. Talend said its partners leverage the firm’s technology and expert support to create comprehensive solutions that tap into the growing market for data, application, and business process integration worldwide.
Redington Value’s goal is to helps partners and customers transform to the new era of the smart digital world. With over 50 vendors in its portfolio, the distributor plays a key cog in the wheels of technology adoption in every industry. Redington Value drives business outcomes for enterprises in the Middle East and Africa by delivering and implementing the best-of-breed technologies from around the globe.
Brian Perrins, manager, Talend Emerging Markets, said, “The VAD programme was developed to enable local and regional VARs to extend their technical and sales skills on new and emerging technologies that the big data and cloud ecosystems demand, to areas and regions where such skills are limited or not yet available. The skills of the VAD are offered in addition to those of Talend and the VAR to deliver local knowledge and experience to VARs who do not have such skill.”
Sayantan Dev, VP, Redington Value, said, “We have seen the huge demand for big data, cloud and associated analytics for a while now and have been building our competences and delivering solutions to our channel partners across MEA. Talend is a strategic partner and technology. We are delighted to now have the opportunity to share the skills and experience with our VARs across the region that do not or cannot reach the levels required or are demand by the end users adopting this leading-edge technology.”
The distributor said that it is now in the process of developing an intense enablement and education programme to actively support VARs across the region, who can see the requirements of end users but are not technically or commercially skilled to deliver the technical skills to architect, implement and manage big data and cloud infrastructures in the cloud or on-premise.
