Data Extraction Methods

[Former Member]

Hi Team,

One of our clients is looking for information related to the pros and cons of using ETL (Ascential) tool Vs BIW.

The client is using their own reporting tool and wants to extract the data from ECC and mySAP applications using ETL tool (Ascential). Please provide the advantages and disadvantages of using the same.

BI is not their standard reporting tool and wants to know the advantages of using the same.

Please provide any documents that explain the same.

Thanks

See the following url, it list 2 or 3 documents that can be useful:

In general, if BW is not their reporting solution, the main issue is license cost and ROI. BTW - what's their data wareousing and reporting solution?

Hope it helps,

Gili
