E-L-T vs. E-T-L

Oracle Data Integrator, or ODI, provides a new declarative design approach to defining data transformation and integration processes based on a unique Extract-Load-Transform (ELT) architecture.  The declarative design approach separates the declarative rules from the implementation details. ODI architecture eliminates the need for a standalone ETL (Extract-Transform-Load) server and proprietary engine while leveraging the inherent power of RDBMS engines.

Historical Data Conversion: Implementing Oracle BI Applications after an ERP upgrade

Many companies embark into the deployment of Oracle BI Applications soon after they go live with a new or upgraded ERP system.  A successful BI Apps deployment can bring in numerous benefits – the most notable is the data driven decision making in the organization. However, the success of the project depends a lot on having a good understanding of the challenges that are endemic to such BI deployments.
