Talend Data Integration Basics

Talend Studio for Data Integration dramatically improves the efficiency of data
integration Job design through an easy-to-use graphical development environment.
With integrated connectors to source and target systems, it enables rapid deployment
and reduces maintenance costs. It supports all types of data integration, migration, and
synchronization.
This course helps you use Talend Studio for Data Integration as quickly as possible. It
focuses on the basic capabilities of Studio and how you can use it to build reliable,
maintainable data integration tasks that solve practical problems, including extracting
data from common database and file formats, transforming it, and integrating it into
targets.
This course serves as a prerequisite for many other Talend courses, and the skills
learned apply to most Talend products.
Duration 2 days
