EXTRACT DATA FROM SALESFORCE
Companies reliant on data-driven workflows, such as members of the Salesforce Enterprise User Client (EUCLid) community, are turning more and more to extensible architectures to generate business value from their vast repositories of data. One of these architectures, extract-transform-load (ETL), uses software components to transfer data from one system to another – such as extracting Salesforce data and loading it into another data storage environment. ETL allows organization to harness their data to create real value through enhanced integration, enriched analytics, and improved business intelligences. The challenge for many organizations is finding the right solution to extraction from their Salesforce data repository. ETL frameworks have traditionally been closed source, meaning that both users and vendors have limited access and visibility, leading to expensive governance costs related to dependent applications. A Salesforce release management solution, Salesforce data backup and recovery solution, and Salesforce security solution can help by introducing an open framework to empower clients to extract data from Salesforce. An open ETL framework grants users complete control over the data being extracted. With the ability to investigate data currently connected with Salesforce, IT teams can become part of the core development process, making it an integral part of a company’s operations and ensuring that their development efforts are used efficiently. Bringing IT professionals into this process also has the added benefit of allowing them to be more knowledgeable than ever on the organization’s internal processes, enabling them to better respond to the technical needs of internal operations. Vehicles for extracting and transforming data from Salesforce can also dramatically reduce the complexity of data governance while increasing business agility. Implementing the right open source framework provides organizations with the means to discover and access valuable data, which can in turn lead to bigger and more enterprise-level data projects, like predictive analytics, that take advantage of data stored in the Salesforce cloud. Being able to quickly report on the quality of the data also helps businesses make better, informed decisions and ensure that their customer data is both secure and reliable. Open ETL frameworks provide organizations with a cost-effective way to access data both from Salesforce and other third-party sources, while also creating visibility and data auditing capabilities that make it easier to track data changes and movements. In addition, these platforms can also eliminate the need for expensive ETL tools and automated data monitoring systems that are currently out of the reach of many organizations. When selecting an open source ETL approach for extracting data from Salesforce, it is important to look for one that is comprehensive, comprehensive, flexible and cloud-compatible. An open ETL platform should offer the ability to construct robust data integration jobs for Salesforce but also integrate with other cloud-native systems in order to provide customers with a complete end-to-end solution. ETL frameworks are quickly becoming an essential part of many organization’s IT infrastructures, enabling them to effectively extract, transform, and load data in order to take their business operations to the next level. An open source ETL framework can help Salesforce customers gain complete control over their data while gaining increased insights into how their data is being used and interacting with other business systems. With the right open source ETL strategy, customers can have the utmost confidence that their data will be secure, reliable, and backed up.
