How To Access
Partner Program Benefits
Diamond Partners
The Talend Alliance Program for System Integrators has
multiple benefits designed to create a mutually beneficial
relationship for both Talend’s partners and Talend. The
following describes how to access and sign up for these
benefits.
Quote for a Press Release
As a Diamond Partner, you may publish a quote from a
Talend executive for your press release that announces
our partnership. To request the quote, please email
partnerprogram@talend.com and the Talend Program
Administration team will help you coordinate this benefit.
You are welcome to suggest a quote but please refrain
from publishing anything until you have received written
approval, and remember that Talend has total discretion
on the content of the quote.
In addition, our two companies may agree to issue a joint
press release. Once again, an email to partnerprogram@
talend.com will kick off the coordination of this benefit.
Four Web-based Training Classes for up to 8
Students OR 120 modules of On-Demand Training
(ODT) - as available.
Classes range from Talend Studio Basics to Talend ESB

to identify the classes or ODT modules that will best fit
your needs and schedule. Additional training sessions
may be purchased separately using your partner

Thirty-Two Certification Exams
To take a certification exam, you should first take the
applicable training course. When you are ready, you
may take an on-line certification test, which will provide
immediate feedback. To sign up for an exam, please
email partnerprogram@talend.com, and we will help
you get registered.
Twenty Hours a Quarter for Consulting Services via
LiveExpert
You’ve been trained now, and maybe even certified. But
sometimes questions arise. When you join the Talend
Alliance Program, the main business contact of your
organization will receive an email that tells you how to
access our LiveExpert system. This system allows you
to chat with a Talend expert, who, if necessary, can
take over your screen to help you. This service can
be used for all types of questions, including one-onone mentoring. However, it is not meant for customer
questions or projects. Additional consulting hours may
be purchased separately using your partner discounted
rates.
Technical Shadowing
At the discretion of Talend management, you may
request that one or two of your consultants shadow
a Talend technical resource as he/she implements a
Talend project. To access this benefit, please email your
Channel Account Manager.
Access To Roadmap
Diamond partners have full access to Talend’s product
roadmap. Please speak with your Channel Account
Manager to access Talend’s product direction.

partners may sit on Talend’s Customer Advisory Board.
Please speak with your Channel Account Manager for
