A Brief History of ETL, a good piece by Bill Inmon
Recommended reading: Bill Inmon, the Father of Data Warehousing, published last week A Brief History of ETL that takes a look at the history of ETL and provides a glimpse into ETL's future.
Bill opens his article with the IPO of Prism Solutions, which after a string of mergers and spin-offs finally became Ascential. I recall this dinner with Bill a few months ago in Palo Alto, where he told us that we were in the very same restaurant where Prism had been founded around a dinner table, some time ago...
However, this is the past! And in the future, Bill sees Talend as the best representative and leader of the new generation of ETL. With which I fully agree :-)
