Business Intelligence, on the Hands of an Open Source ETL Toolkit, Powering The Service Oriented Architecture.
An important piece from the family of products from River Software Technologies, is riverETL™ Studio allows creating maps of data-flows where one can collect very dissimilar data sources and create a complex business logic that serves any purpose in a BI scenario, or work as a coordinated unit for a service oriented architecture in the enterprise along with other River’s products like Nilus™, StretchDB™ and riverPortals™.
riverETL™ Studio is user-friendly, and for even a non-technical user it would take just a couple of hours to get trained. Most users will find it intuitive, although some business users with limited technical skills may need to have some of the basic techniques explained to them.

Almost every company has multiple locations where it stored data. It can be very difficult to generate useful information when it is scattered over a number of different locations or even computers. Add to this the complexity of different ways of storing data; databases, text files, RSS feeds, web pages, XML, MS-Excel, web services, etc.
riverETL™ Studio integrates with other River’s products like Nilus™ to use within the SOA suite as input for various integration processes. StretchDB® to provide a way to store or retrieve information from this database.
Not only makes data migration easier and quicker, but it also ensures the quality of the data being integrated.
- Push and pull integration support: riverETL™ Studio is capable to support data-, event- and service-oriented integration with the same interface. This unique capability allows enterprise customers, partners and developers to cover all integration needs: batch and near real-time integration.
- Productivity advantage and a short learning curve: the business-rules-driven approach is shared throughout riverETL™ Studio, regardless of the data, event or service orientation of each integration mechanism.
- Shared, reusable metadata: with a single metadata repository, the consistency of the integration processes is guaranteed. The repository also promotes the reusability of business rules for data transformation and data validation across processes.
- Open source architecture. Unlike all proprietary data integration software and many open source solutions, riverETL™ Studio is 100% open source with no proprietary source code, since is based on another popular open source project, and thus why we remain open with GPL v3.
- Integrates also with riverPortals™ to expose riverETL™ as a server, in order to process data-maps in the backend, thus making it accessible for various components running within riverPortals™ context.
- The metadata-centric approach makes it easy to adapt to changes in the external environment and also to promote reuse at every level. Users can share XML metadata files to re-use connectivity settings, transformations, and mappings.
