Talend advanced data management platform
Optimized 20% of its integration costs
One group subsidiary, ONE City, is making municipal authorities’ operational data accessible and enabling the creation of advanced services for civilians using the advanced data management platform Talend, represented in Israel by Aqurate, a subsidiary of UCL.
ONE City is operating Talend in two main ways: making the aggregated data from each municipal authority’s operational system accessible (ETL) for storage in a central data warehouse and issuing advanced reports for authorities’ high officials. The second way is making interfaces from inside the organization outwards in a secure manner, with architecture that supports the most updated interface, such as API Rest on the Open API platform.
Oren Tasa, VP of technologies and digital in ONE City, says: “we chose Talend in light of the system’s advanced data management capabilities. Using it, we can manufacture different interfaces in a quick manner and with the best quality. In the past, we used to hire several integration developers to do what we get today automatically with Talend data management systems, so we have optimized the integration process by 20%”.
Aqurate CEO, Yosi Rodrik, mentioned: “making services such as property tax or issuing parking tickets accessible is very important for civilians. We want to go to the website of the municipal authority we belong to and with the click of several buttons, get a fast and quality service. This we enable using Talend. ONE City is enabling municipal authorities to use the most advanced tools regarding their data, and accordingly also enables heads of the authorities to make critical operative decisions based on this data”.

About Talend
In 2005 the data market was at a crossroads. While other branches have been drawn to expensive and complex integration products, Talend founders Fabrice Bonan and Bertrand Diard believed there’s another way: simple, strong, flexible, and expandable. Their solution was the first commercial program with open-source code for data integration. Talend believed that it must change how the world makes decisions, and the way to achieve that is by making data available for everyone.
A little more than a decade later (2016) – after launching an organizational big data solution and foreseeing the industry shift to cloud infrastructure, the company went public on Nasdaq under the name TLND. The company is leading the world’s data management field by research companies and offers data integrity and health solutions.
