Data Conversion

My magazine article looks at the IBM Master Data Management Server with the bundling QualityStage jobs for data integration and load.

QualityStage 8 standalone is a great ETL tool as well as a data quality tool - better than most ETL tools on the market thanks to the depth of data quality functionality.

A splinter cell of QualityStage experts have broken away from IBM to sell data quality applications and services. They are beta testing with customers a data quality monitoring and reporting tool called PartyQualityInsight that will complement data quality initiatives and platforms.

A new release of Australian and Canadian address modules and a Geolocator module for QualityStage seems to be a hodge podge of versions.

Now there are two WebSphere Information Integration certification exams: QualityStage and DataStage.
