Overview Build New ETL Speed Your ETL Tool Replace Your ETL Tool Beyond ETL iPaaS

The Biggest Challenges in Data Integration

Speed

Cost

Complexity

Speed

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.

Cost

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.

The Affordable Alternative

Complexity

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.

5 Simpler Approaches

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
