Talend provides the city with a unique opportunity to correlate data, and “measure, monitor, and manage” data from different sources and departments to create a comprehensive profile of data, while protecting the privacy and the security of the data. Talend will provide the necessary technology to treat data as an asset which will contribute to data-driven decision making.
