Clients can leverage VIA’s ETL (Extraction, Transformation, and Loading) capability to streamline and automate a variety of data aggregation processes.  For instance, market data from vendor files can be uploaded into the data warehouse in a matter of minutes without the need to write specialized scripts.

Using the unique Iterator technology offered by VIA, large amounts of data can be scrubbed, validated, and exported with minimal effort.  Once the process has been configured, it can then be automated to repeat the process at a defined frequency (daily, weekly, monthly etc.).

THE OPTURO ADVANTAGE

• Streamline & Automate: With VIA, new and exiting processes can be simplified and automated.
• Reduces Costs: With increased productivity and automation, fewer resources need to be dedicated, hence a significant reduction in costs can be achieved.
