| Data warehouses and data marts, with their accompanying ETL process are really a specialized form of Data Integration. Data must be sourced from one or more places, massaged and then loaded or sent somewhere else. You may have many data integration challenges facing your IT department that are not considered to be data warehousing related, but can employ the same ETL technology. RODIN may be a perfect fit for these challenges too. Some common examples include: Data Conversion projects Data feeds to or from external organizations Operational Data Stores CRM databases RODIN can dramatically reduce the development effort in all of these scenarios. One-off data conversion projects especially are usually very costly, in that a skilled developer may spend weeks or months developing and testing the conversion programs only to run them once for the conversion, after which they are useless. It makes much more sense to use RODIN and cut the development time to a fraction of what it might be otherwise. |
