The better alternative to conventional ETL tools
The biggest challenges in data integration
Most data integration solutions – and many data migration solutions – are implemented using older ETL or ELT tools that rely on compiled Java programs or inefficient in-database transformations. This negatively impacts job design and execution time. This also applies to all downstream queries and applications that depend on these jobs.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars and many months are spent building and supporting jobs in 6 and 7-figure ETL packages. Multiple users and licenses quickly add costs on top and dominate project budgets. In the meantime, SMEs are left with open source tools that have a steep learning curve and poor performance at scale.
Long consulting contracts are required to map new and uncleaned datasets in old ETL tools or to connect third-party engines to accelerate them. Many ETL tools are unable to discover, track, manage, or federate data, and their metadata is cryptic or hidden.
Data Integration – Common Answers and Results
- Procrastination – SLAs for slow ETL tools at risk due to overspending
- Betting – on complex Hadoop code, NoSQL or columnar DBs, or ELT applications
- Divide – Transformation of data in multiple sections or stages (instead of in one step)
- Outsourcing - Use of programs written or maintained by revenue-plagued BPOs
- iPaaS in the Cloud – in addition to the functional aspects, security and bandwidth issues also arise

What is data integration software?
Data integration merges data from various sources to create a unified and useful overview of the data. Special data integration software is used for this purpose.
What is ETL?
ETL stands for the Extract/Transform/Load process. First, data is extracted from sources using data integration software, then transformed into predefined formats, and finally loaded into databases, data sources, or data warehouses.
What is ELT?
ELT stands for the Extract/Load/Transform process. First, data is extracted from sources, then loaded into the target data warehouse, and finally formatted in the target database. Data integration software also performs these processes.
