Extract Transform Load (ETL)

What is ETL?

Extract, transform, load (ETL) is a three-phase process where data is extracted from source systems, transformed and loaded into a destination system. The data can be collated from one or more sources and it can also be output to one or more destinations. ETL processing is typically executed using software applications but it can also be done manually by system operators.

Master Data Management (MDM) and Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) tools are related in the realm of data management and integration.

MDM focuses on creating a single, consistent, and accurate view of master data within an organization, such as customer data, supplier data,  product data, and other critical entities. MDM ensures that this master data is synchronized and shared across the organization.

ETL tools, on the other hand, are used to extract data from various sources, transform it into a format that is suitable for analysis or storage, and load it into a destination system.

The relationship between MDM and ETL tools lies in the fact that ETL processes are often used to populate and maintain the master data repositories within an MDM system. ETL tools can extract data from various sources, transform it to meet the requirements of the MDM system, and then load it into the MDM repository.

In summary, ETL tools play a crucial role in the data integration aspect of Master Data Management, helping to ensure that the master data remains accurate, consistent, and up to date.

Verify-It has been designed to automate the transformation of your B2B Supplier and Customer data by not only cleansing and providing the results in a structured format but also by verifying those records against the truth of source, such as UK Companies House, The Royal Mail Postal Address Files and the UK Government VAT checker.

Once your B2B Supplier and Customer data has been verified you can then recheck the data at anytime to ensure it is kept up to date and relevant.
