expressor Studio vs. Talend Open Studio?
This question comes up frequently with prospective clients and I’d like to take the opportunity to share some of my thoughts with you. Everyone we talk to says that Talend takes a very developer centric approach to ETL. Their tool really caters to programmers, who are highly technical people – but (without insulting them) most [...]

The ETL / data integration market is constantly evolving and open source vendors have been leading the charge in providing some and in some instances all of their software for free. Those who chose to charge for just maintenance and services only have a hard time making their business models work. Those like Talend who [...]

Who is expressor’s competition in data integration?
This is an important question which I’d like to address in this blog. As some of you may already know expressor is primarily targeting medium size SMBs and departmental projects in Global 2000 enterprises. Important sectors in this market are Microsoft-centric SQL Server accounts that are using Microsoft SSIS for standard ETL tasks. expressor commonly [...]
When is Open Source not really open?
The free software movement was launched in 1983 and advocated that software ought to be free, i.e. no charge, and developers ought to be liberated to make changes, modifications, improvements, etc without obligation to any other contributor, including the originators of the software. The notion of copyright protection has no place in this brave new [...]
ETL open source software pricing vs expressor
In my last blog on ETL vendor software pricing I compared expressor‘s product and product-related services pricing to that of its competition, including Informatica and DataStage. Today, I’d like to compare commercial open source pricing with expressor. There remains to be a misperception in the marketplace that open source vendors like Talend provide free ETL [...]

why expressor’s data mapping approach is different?
In my last blog, I wrote about the state of the traditional data integration market. In today’s blog, I’d like to discuss why expressor’s approach to data mapping is different from traditional ETL/DI tools and what the benefits of our approach are. In expressor’s unique semantic rationalization approach, a data steward “maps” the external (technical) [...]
state of the traditional data integration market
This blog outlines the current state of the data integration market in terms of what methods and tools are being used.
Unix as a platform for DI is fading quickly
I am spending significant time and effort right now talking to our customers, partners, and prospects about their computing needs for 2010 and beyond. One of the questions I ask them in my surveys is how important Unix is for running their data integration applications. And what I am hearing loud and clear is that [...]

what’s so magic about Gartner’s latest Magic Quadrant update?
Gartner recently updated their Magic Quadrant (MQ) for data integration tools and with the exception of one new vendor, who was included based on their free download open source business practices, little has changed, including the top right-hand quadrant. As you would expect, the MQ leadership quadrant continues to be controlled by Informatica and IBM [...]
