Why ELT Is the Future of Data Integration

Many businesses struggle with successful analytics programs due to the challenges of accessing timely, trusted data from numerous and unpredictable sources. Traditional ETL processes are hindered by resource-intensive workflows and custom code designed for specific use cases. Automated ELT or automated data integration offers a modern approach that simplifies data access and makes it as reliable as electricity. This method shifts the "transform" step to the end of the data pipeline, allowing analysts to load data before transforming it and creating a single source of truth in a data warehouse. Automated ELT leverages prebuilt connectors for various data sources, reducing manual intervention and bespoke code requirements.
