Agile Data Integration

Print friendlyprint

Are you struggling to bring together the right data for analysis?

Are you getting your data fast enough, or are you always stuck waiting?

Are you tired of spending time and money on ETL technology? Or are you looking to avoid having to employ a data integration solution entirely?

Data integration software (also known as ETL) and data warehouses are notoriously expensive to implement and challenging to maintain. Organizations budget millions of dollars every year just for ETL infrastructure, data mapping services, and warehouse management.

Altosoft has developed a revolutionary new approach that eliminates the need for traditional complex, costly ETL, and effectively makes data structures in the warehouse self-maintaining. With Altosoft, there is no need to build cubes or deploy marts in order to deliver extremely high analytical performance when analyzing data across multiple data sources. Altosoft’s MetricsMart solution, either deployed standalone or as part of our InsightBI platform, does all the heavy lifting for you.

  • Altosoft delivers low latency data for monitoring and analysis. With an Altosoft solution, there is no more need to wait 24 hours for a data warehouse to be updated in batch in order to get the latest business data and analytics.
  • Altosoft significantly accelerates complex cross-database calculations like outer joins that in many cases are requisite for delivering useful business analysis. As a result, operational database performance is optimized and requirements for expensive hardware investment are minimized.
  • Altosoft automatically determines data dimensions, eliminating the need to define and build data cubes up front for optimized query performance, and dramatically reducing the costs of change if analytical requirements need to be adjusted.
  • Altosoft reduces load on operational systems or data stores by intelligently reducing query load on those systems versus traditional data warehouse or BI techniques.
  • Altosoft does things that traditional data warehouse architectures aren’t good at – like analyzing process performance, and tracking the evolution of KPIs and their results over time.

Altosoft’s agile data integration capabilities integrate data from a variety of sources – including traditional sources like relational databases (Oracle, SQL Srver, etc.), enterprise applications like ERP and CRM, flat files, and Excel. But Altosoft also goes beyond this to integrate data from real-time, event-based data sources like Tibco, MQSeries, BizTalk, and more.

Altosoft’s drag-and-drop mapping capability accelerates data integration.

Naturally, Altosoft’s agile data integration still works with existing data warehouses. MetricsMart plugs right into a data warehouse and enables data monitoring, analysis, and dashboard visualization in minutes. And since even the largest and best-designed data warehouses inevitably don’t contain all the enterprise data that needs to be analyzed, Altosoft can come in very handy. In these situations, Altosoft can combine warehouse-based data and data from other systems, calculate KPIs, and deliver analysis – without requiring modification of your data warehouse environment. In fact, some of Altosoft’s largest customers, with massive data warehouses, are using Altosoft for exactly that purpose.
