BitWise announces ETL conversion tool
At expressor we are fortunate to have some of the world's foremost technology and integration partners.
Among these partners is BitWise.
What they have done in a just a few short months is absolutely amazing.
Just back in December of 2008 four individuals from BitWise attended the last expressor training class of the year. With their deep back ground in data integration, they are very familiar with other data integration products. They also immediately saw why expressor solves the shortcomings of other products.
One evening during training I went to dinner with the BitWise team. They explained how they had been working on an ETL conversion utility. I, of course, was interested as we have been asked many times by customers and prospects about just such a thing. What I thought was odd is that here it was late December and they indicated they would like to demo the tool in February. Odd.
Throughout January we exchange a few emails and it seemed they were making some headway. In early February they did a demo of the tool via WebEx. I had another meeting so missed it, but the reports were good. During the Winter 2009 TDWI conference in Las Vegas, BitWise joined expressor and I finally got to see the conversion demo.
WOW!! With the ability to convert korn shell scripts and XMI metadata this conversion tool converted some very complex applications. It was simply amazing how quick and precise these conversions were. I do not impress easily with software. I was impressed to say the very least.
At expressor we have been claiming for a year, 'you now have a choice.' Now you have even more of a choice to reduce you data integration costs.
