Why buy the ETL & Data Integration Guide?
The ETL & Data Integration Guide™ is specifically designed for BI consultants, data architects, data engineers, IT managers, project managers, and BI managers. But general managers and consultants will also benefit from it. What exactly is the use for you as a manager, professional, or (external) consultant of the ETL & Data Integration Guide? The most popular applications of this guide are:
1. Vendor and tool selection: easily compose a shortlist
Evaluate each vendor based on functionality and market dominance. Apply the principle of “what matters most should matter most” and draw your own conclusions. Quickly compile a long- and shortlist of vendors that qualify and meet your selection criteria and specific business situation. Closely monitor the performance of the selected ETL software vendor(s) that best address the needs and requirements of your organization, division, or business unit.
Figure 1: Initially you see the ranking of the various suppliers on 9 main categories, but you can easily drill down and zoom in on detailed aspects. The ratings presented in the above figure are not complete and should not be used to draw any conclusion.
With the self-service analysis module (an extra option available at a small additional fee) you manage everything yourself. You select the ETL tool vendors you want to keep an eye on and you choose the functionality you want. This way you compose your own top 3 ETL tools based on, for example, 50 criteria that are specifically important to you. Drill down to four levels to get to the core of the field and learn all the ins and outs of the most important ETL processes, such as data integration, data migration, data replication and data governance. Download any relevant graph to add liveliness to any presentation.
2. Training and education: develop yourself and your team
Broaden, deepen, and polish your knowledge as a data manager or consultant. Use this online guide as a training tool for yourself and your project team. Work through all the relevant definitions and jargon and get inspired by the valuable ideas in the online video library.
Figure 2: The training module contains more than 300 videos and helps you master data integration and ETL quickly. But the guide directs you to many more relevant videos such as vendors’ product videos and ETL expert talks.
Expand your domain knowledge and increase your market value as a manager or specialist by diving into the hundreds of (instructional) videos, learning modules, TED talks, online courses, and so on.
Figure 3: Multiple videos on data modeling illustrate, among many other things, the characteristics of star schemas versus snowflake schemas.
Discover the difference between ETL and ELT by watching an animated video, or follow a mini-course on data lakes, data warehouse automation, and the importance of data quality. Learn from an ETL expert why validation, logging, and rerunability of ETL data are indispensable functionalities.
In addition, with our guide you always stay on top of the news: consult all enlightening news items related to the field of data warehousing in general and top ETL tools in particular. Increase your understanding of what is going on and get a realistic picture of how the ETL market works.
