In 2019, The City of Columbus procured a Data Management Platform (DMP) that consists of two platforms: Talend and Cloudera. DoT is developing the DMP under the auspices of the Data and Analytics Services (DAS) Section of the DoT. The DAS section's mission is to enable and encourage City departments to manage, share, and publish data that unleashes public and private sector innovation with open data and empowers data driven decision-making throughout the City.
Talend Data Fabric is the City’s enterprise data integration tool that enables DoT Data Engineers to develop real-time and batch data integrations between existing lines-of-business applications deployed by various city departments. Talend Data Fabric streamlines the process of designing, developing, and deploying data integration jobs, web services, and data quality routines. DoT now wishes to acquire additional services as part of a planned enhancement/expansion.
The term of this contract will be one year from the date of a confirmed purchase order by the City Auditor’s Office and is not subject to renewal.
Finally, this ordinance authorizes the expenditure of up to $120,650.00 for the above-described purpose.
