turbocharge your ETL with expressor (702.69 KB)
You’re a satisfied Microsoft developer, but the increasing complexity of your data integration needs is expanding beyond the limits of Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS). You have to write too much complex code to transform your data. Some of your applications are not fast enough. You’re having trouble integrating diverse data sources. You’re aware of and may have even looked at other ETL / DI solutions, so you know that they would offer additional functionality but would cost you a lot more – especially in training and application maintenance. They may also cause too much change to your current IT infrastructure.

top ten for expressor (133.34 KB)
For too long, ETL vendors have justified complex and expensive solutions by pointing out that data integration (DI) is a tough task. In fact, many of you’ve brought in new DI tools and thought about replacing existing tools out of frustration, but shelved many of those plans when you realized that most other products shared many of the same shortcomings and were equally expensive. Now you have an alternative. As DI practitioners ourselves, we created the next-generation expressor semantic data integration system to address many critical pain points caused by traditional DI products. Based on our experience and feedback from organizations like yours, we’ve compiled a list of the top 10 reasons customers are choosing expressor today for their next DI project. We’re sure at least a few of them will resonate with you.

whitepapers & reports

data integration: TCO really matters (732.59 KB)
Data Integration (DI) is expensive and hard – that’s how business views it today. But does it need to be? This paper takes a look back and examines the promise of the current data integration tools and assesses how well that promise has been fulfilled. Against this background the gaps, opportunities and challenges are identified. The focus then shifts to the key requirements for the future, the new data integration tools now becoming available, and illustrates how these are better able to meet the requirement for lower total cost of ownership (TCO) of today’s more agile and faster moving businesses. The paper concludes by offering ten tips for selecting the next DI tool.

all aboard the data integration expressor (650.12 KB)
A new entrant to the data integration space is expressor software. Although there is no shortage of integration technology out there, in practice, large scale integration projects involve a large amount of manual scripts which deal with what transformation to apply to a certain column in a source system before sending it on to a target system. This approach often results in business rules being embedded within this code, and hence not re-used in other projects.

data integration: what's next? (603.57 KB)
No one can deny that the conduct of business today is remarkably different - faster, more competitive and more diverse than it was a decade ago. Whether this can be attributed to market forces and innovation or, rather, to the advance of technology, is an open question. It does seem, however, that technology has played the leading role and business has had to adapt to keep up.

semantic discord and data (dis)integration (302.12 KB)
As business requirements continue to accelerate, the ability of existing data integration technologies to solve those requirements lags appreciably behind. In an effort to address this issue, vendors have been frantically retooling their platforms and/or buying "complementary technologies" to help them stay afloat. Unfortunately, these incremental improvements and bolt-on solutions have not been successful in resolving the core problem. What is needed is a fundamental shift in the way that data integration projects are approached. This paper lays out the nuts and bolts of the problem and the subsequent groundwork for defining the solution.

data integration: increasing its success and ROI (120.1 KB)
Enterprises need to take a new approach to information and data integration. First, business and IT people need to work to jointly to take ownership and responsibility for data and its integration. Second, they need to establish processes to build a data integration portfolio within a holistic information architecture. Finally, IT needs to rethink its approach to data integration by selecting the best fit technology with an affordable TCO. With this new paradigm, data integration efforts will be successful and return a solid business ROI.

expressor/Netezza intelligent load & go whitepaper (524.42 KB)
As the volume of data expands and the need to analyze it follows, most organizations find themselves in one of two camps: using tools to extract, transform and load data into new target databases for analysis (ETL), or extracting and loading data into new targets and performing the transformations in those databases (ELT). Each approach is best-suited to solving specific problems, but cost barriers and vendor lock-in have forced most organizations into one camp or the other and limited their ability to move between the two. The expressor/Netezza intelligent load & go solution breaks down these barriers and allows organizations to choose the data warehouse architecture – ETL, ELT, or a hybrid - that best fits their business needs.

TDWI report on Operational DI co-sponsored by expressor software (818.79 KB)
The amount and diversity of work done by data integration specialists has exploded since the turn of the twenty-first century. Analytic data integration continues to be a vibrant and growing practice that’s applied most often to data warehousing and business intelligence initiatives. But a lot of the growth comes from the emerging practice of operational data integration, which is usually applied to the migration, consolidation, or synchronization of operational databases, plus business-to-business data exchange. Analytic and operational data integration are both growing; yet, the latter is growing faster in some sectors.
