Excellent article and a well-chosen case study. Innovation notwithstanding, I wonder (and shiver) what this will do to already choked Indian roads. Imagine Connaught Place during rush hour with a couple hundred thousand new Nanos!

That was a very nice overview. I agree on every point you mentioned, but there still is one thing, that makes me a bit frustrated - there were plenty of changes in the BI part, but meanwhile, nearly nothing changed in the enterprise planning solution. Analyst is still the same, and what’s even more dissappointing, there were no changes in Manager, as well. And it would be so much easier to design Manager reports using CSS.. Maybe this will change in the close future, at least i hope..

Comment on EntropySoft announces Content ETL 2 by Serge Guillerme

Guru,

What Informatica does here is very different from what we do: they claim to be able to go get structured data INSIDE unstructured data, ie extract structured data from an unstructured document.

What we do has little to do with this.
We extract / transform / load unstructured data from various repositories; we do not go inside the data to extract only part of it.

FYI, ETL traditionally applies to structured data; our engine deals perfectly with unstructured data, which is, we believe, a technological breakthrough we try to capitalize upon !

Best regards

Comment on EntropySoft announces Content ETL 2 by Guru Kirthigavasan

Serge,

Thanks for the note on the first content ETL took of EntropySoft.

My reason to say that other vendors are also involved in unstructured data was because I have been using Informatica for ETL of unstructured data. I’m not sureif there are finer difference in EntropySoft’s Content ETL tool and Informatica’s version of tapping unstructured data.

Here’s a reference to what Informatica does with unstructured data - http://www.informatica.com/products/powercenter/options/unstructured_data/default.htm

Do let me know if you think its otherwise and it will benefit me to understand what your company’s tool better.
