DataMagic Technical Column〈DataMagic for Windows Installation〉

Introduction

For example, when creating data to be stored in a data warehouse, it is said that much of the development time is spent on ETL development, and any changes to either the source or target system will result in various maintenance tasks. Utilizing a typical ETL tool allows for data correction (data cleansing), integration, summarization, calculation of derived data, conversion, and loading, which helps reduce development and operational time, but there are many cases where the ETL tool itself has too many functions to master, or is too expensive to purchase.

However, by using DataMagic, you can enjoy the above functions starting from the lowest price in the industry, 60,000 yen.It has a very simple configuration and can be used in any system scenario.

To use DataMagic, you will need to install the GUI tool DataMagic Manager in addition to the main software installed this time. For information on installing DataMagic Manager, please refer to the separate article "Installing DataMagic Manager."
