Is ETL Becoming Obsolete?
This 5 page white paper discusses the key issues with ETL tools today, and how an "E-LT" architecture combined with a "business-rules-driven" approach is better. "E-LT" eliminates the need for dedicated ETL servers, and instead, leverages the power of the target RDBMS engine to perform compute-intensive transformations. "Business-rules-driven" development enables developers to describe end-to-end transformation and data quality rules in terms that are the most intuitive and easiest to maintain. The net result is better developer productivity, better performance and lower costs.
