Evolutionary Technologies International (ETI) was the first company to offer a commercial solution for "extract, transform, load" processes for database usage and data warehousing. Originally a research project at the Microelectronics and Computer Corporation (MCC) in Austin, Texas, ETI was spun off as a private company by co-founders Katherine Hammer and Robin Curle in 1990.
ETI's technology provided a mechanism for automatically generating ETL programs based on user-defined metadata. Their first product was called EXTRACT (later changed to ETI•EXTRACT).
Famous quotes containing the word evolutionary:
“The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.”
—Stanley Weiser, U.S. screenwriter, and Oliver Stone. Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas)
