Case Study: RTBF (Belgian public broadcaster) achieves better audience retention and faster reporting with Talend Data Integration

RTBF - Customer Case Study

Radio Television Belge de la Communauté Francophone (RTBF), Belgium’s French‑language public broadcaster operating multiple TV channels, radio stations and on‑demand services, faced a highly competitive media market and aging, siloed reporting systems. To better retain audiences and support operational reporting across finance, production, HR and distribution, RTBF needed a scalable data warehouse and a way to integrate many diverse data sources without creating an IT bottleneck.

RTBF chose Talend Data Integration for its open‑source model, broad connectivity, intuitive graphical interface, centralized metadata and multi‑OS support, and pilot‑tested it during election broadcasts. Talend now connects about 30 data sources to the warehouse and supports roughly 50 daily users; it sped development and maintenance (quick Hyperion integration and near‑instant reloads), improved business–IT collaboration, and delivered faster, more flexible reporting to help programs attract and retain audiences.
