Why Companies Want More Efficient ETL and How They're Achieving It
The promise of real-time ETL for companies is being able to thrive in a rapidly changing world in which using up-to-date information is crucial for staying competitive. Real-time ETL should allow businesses to realize real-time data warehousing in support of timely operational reporting and business intelligence and faster data-driven decision-making.
One way companies have been able to accelerate BI ETL projects is through the use of an ETL solution that generates ETL scripts and streamlines and improves the performance and consistency of ETL workflows. By providing users with built-in connectors for different sources and targets, integrated metadata repositories, and an intuitive graphical UI from which to monitor and manage data flows, an ETL integration solution makes executing, modifying, and troubleshooting ETL processes simpler and easier.
Another way businesses have come closer to achieving real-time ETL is through the use of data warehouse automation solutions like Qlik Compose®. DWA solutions automate repetitive and labor-intensive data warehousing tasks such as schema generation and ETL coding, enabling not just ETL automation but automation of the entire data warehousing lifecycle from DW design and creation to impact analysis and change management.
