Talend ETL
Why does my company need this?
Data from a company tend to be dispersed with the use of separate software: spreadsheets, databases, text files and other forms. The ETL tool helps to automate the integration of data from several different sources. It also greatly facilitates batch processing. Don't ask your developers to create scripts (difficult to maintain) for handling tasks and data files, rather opt instead for an ETL software!
Some examples:

| Time sheet synchronization from a request tracker. | E-mail fetching and attachment data extraction (calc sheet). |

Modeling and reporting tools.
Why does my company need this?
Each company must maintain correspondence with customers, employees and other agencies. Reporting tools can create models in a simple and intuitive way, and then generate letters and reports. They also provide automation and batch processing. Reuse your templates quickly and efficiently for different use cases (batch printing and / or sending, dashboards, statistics). Do not waste time with inappropriate office software, rather choose a powerful reporting tool!
Some examples:

| Department director's dashboard | Customer letter | Detailed contract |

The web interface (JPivot) offers a simple and accessible way for any user to connect to the OLAP cube. An essential tool for any enterprise.
