Data Integration
We are focused on providing solutions that helps individuals and organizations more efficiently explore, transform and join diverse data for analysis and business automation. Whether you’re working with files on your desktop or OLTP systems, disparate data in the cloud or within large-scale data lake environments, our extract transform and load (ETL) techniques will accelerate the process of getting data ready for user consumption.
Accurate research and efficient data preparation set the stage for deep insights. DIX Digital empowers anyone from the end users, business analysts, technical engineers and data scientists to prepare any form of data, wherever it’s found inside or outside your organization. This has been our standing since the beginning, and these principles have guided how we development solutions.
We know that you have a choice from a wide range of tools on the market that can perform excellent ETL tasks, and the size of your business and project matters in your buying decision. However, given the client’s project requirements we would recommend one of two approaches:
1) Hand-coded ETL
Custom coding can make sense for very targeted, simple projects that will not require a lot of maintenance. It could also be necessary for situations where there are no tools capable of doing the work required. If you are embarking on an initiative that involves working with multiple systems, a big data or cloud platform, chances are you are going to want to do more and more on that platform over time. If so, relying on expert hand coders will be a very hard approach to scale given the scarcity of these resources and incremental cost. In these situations, we recommend enterprise solutions like Informatica PowerCenter or Microsoft SQL Server Integration Service (SSIS).
2) Tool-based ETL
Informatica PowerCenter (IPC)
Our expert consulting services focus on real-time and batch integration solutions using IPC, the metadata-driven data integration platform, jumpstarts and accelerates data integration projects in order to deliver to the business more quickly than manual hand coding. Developers and analysis collaborate, rapidly prototype, iterate, analyze, validate, and deploy projects in days instead of months. PowerCenter serves as the foundation for your data integration investments hence.

Microsoft SQL Server Integrated Service (SSIS)
Likewise, our consulting services is geared towards solving complex business problems using SSIS an enterprise data integration, data transformation and data migration tool like IPC (above) but built into Microsoft SQL Server database. It can be used for a variety of integration-related tasks, such as analyzing and cleansing data, and running ETL processes to update data warehouses or other target systems.
Nuts & Bolts
Both IPC and SSIS is comparable build around data integrity agility, enterprise scalability, operational confidence and is at the enterprise end of the Data Integration quadrant, while for one-off and stand-alone projects, hand-coding might be the desirable option and .
