Data transformation - The Power of Process


I appreciate software tools that empower the user. One that is becoming an increasing powerful tool for transforming data is Alteryx, a spatial ETL tool from SRC.

The grand idea is if you can design a data process in a "Visio-like" fashion, why not make it a stand alone working program as well. By the time you diagram the working data process required for your business process, you've already constructed a viable program as the working solution.

For "dumb marketing guy" (patent pending) this is phenomenal stuff.
