The Better Alternative to Legacy ETL Tools
The Biggest Challenges in Data Integration
Most data integration solutions -- and many data migration solutions -- are achieved through legacy ETL tools or ELT tools that rely on compiled Java programs or inefficient in-DB transforms. Job design and execution time suffer. So do all the downstream queries and applications that depend on those 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 add costs quickly, and dominate project budgets. Meanwhile, SMBs are stuck with open source tools with long learning curves and poor performance at scale.
Long consulting contracts are needed to map new and unclean data sets in old ETL tools or bolt on third-party engines to speed them up. Many ETL tools cannot easily discover, trace, govern, or federate data, and their metadata is cryptic or hidden.
Common Responses and Results
- Procrastinating - chancing SLAs on slow ETL tools because too much was spent
- Betting - on complex Hadoop code, NoSQL or columnar DBs, or ELT appliances
- Partitioning - transforming data in multiple chunks or stages (versus one step)
- Outsourcing - using programs written or maintained by turnover-fraught BPOs
- iPaaS in the Cloud - adding security and bandwidth concerns to functional ones
