ETL tools help companies to streamline and enhance their data operations. They automate the repetitive tasks involved in extracting raw data from sources, transforming data into a consumable format and loading into data warehouses, where it is ready to be analyzed. With so many offerings available to you, all of which do the heavy lifting ‘out of the box’, it is hard to discern which ETL tool is best suited to your needs.
Following the wave of COVID-19-related responses, the hospitality business has taken an unimaginable hit. Whether it’s the widespread fear of being infected, government-enforced shutdown or the implementation of social distancing, businesses in the hospitality industry are witnessing the decimation of their finances. In the space of just a few weeks, food traffic has fallen by 50%.
The advantages of remote work have been praised for a while now. Team members gravitate towards the flexible work schedule and enjoy an increase in personal freedom, while companies benefit from a talent pool unencumbered by geographical borders. From remote-first tech giants like Automattic (which powers a third of the internet), to newbies such as NASA, companies are steadily progressing towards telecommuting. But working from home comes with its own unique set of challenges.
The Shoemaker (often) goes barefoot. It is often the case, that while one is working hard on helping their customers get better, they neglect their own processes, taking the same shortcuts they warn their clients against. It was like that at Keboola a few years back, until we agreed that this is no longer acceptable, and created a job role (mine) to apply our teachings internally as well.

Raise your hand if you’ve ever heard that “data-driven companies make more money”. McKinsey started beating that drum half a decade ago. Financial Times wrote extensively about the topic. Google even commissioned a multi-year study from Boston Consulting Group (BCG), which showed that “best-in-class digital marketers benefit from 1.4 times greater cost benefits and up to 2.5 times revenue impact” after implementing analytics to drive their business growth.
Last September, the revised Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) went into full effect, shifting open banking from futurism to a regulatory requirement for retail banks. But the EU is not alone in wanting to open up consumers’ financial data via APIs (application programming interfaces) to trusted Third Party Providers (TPPs). Neobanks and fintechs have been marrying technology and customer data as a market-grabbing strategy, thus increasing their competitive edge.
Back in April last year, we made the business decision to make Keboola Connection available on Azure too (no, we're not quitting AWS). The story behind the decision is quite simple — our customers want it.
