ETL Framework
The IMGROUP Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) Framework
lays a foundation for your data integration needs and can vastly
reduce the time scales of your data warehouse initiatives.
Every data warehouse solution needs a mechanism for extracting
data from source systems, processing this data and consolidating
it into a data repository. The ETL phase of any data warehouse
solution is often the most demanding and time consuming and
is too often implemented inefficiently. The success of the entire
data warehouse solution is dependent on a properly designed ETL
system.
Ralph Kimball, a leading visionary in the data warehousing
arena, defined a set of rules and processes that form an
industry-wide best practice for data warehouse solutions. The
IMGROUP ETL Framework automates many of these processes
and is a predefined mechanism for managing the ETL process,
ensuring this vital phase is implemented effectively.
With up to 70 per cent of resources on a typical data warehouse
solution being spent on ETL, our framework can have a
significant impact on the success of your project.
The IMGROUP ETL Framework provides you with out of the box
functionality to manage your disparate data sources.
• Manages data feeds from disparate source systems
• Manages all of the priority and scheduling information of your
various data integration processes
• Provides detailed monitoring information on the success and
failures of all scheduled tasks and jobs, within an intuitive user
interface
Benefits
The IMGROUP ETL Framework allows your ETL developers
to focus on their core activity: ensuring that your business
requirements have been addressed. By providing a
comprehensive administration layer and supporting ETL
infrastructure, the time taken to develop your data warehouse
can be dramatically reduced.
The framework will also enable you to:
• Achieve greater productivity from your developers
• Reduce your development times and realise faster time to
market
• Reduce the project risk by utilising tried and tested
components
• Increase the solution maintainability
IMGROUP’s ETL Framework, which is compatible with the latest
version of SQL Server, is characterised by a set of powerful features,
among which is the ability to populate the metadata using a user
interface. Once the metadata is populated, the framework has the
ability to automatically generate packages that extract data from
source systems.
Furthermore, the ETL Framework is cluster aware, enabling it
to failover from one server to another server within a cluster in
the event of a physical failure. This capability supports the high
availability that is required for mission critical systems.
