SQL Server Integration Services is Enterprise ETL - Forrester

Donald Farmer on SQL Server Integration Services - this entry has been removed off the web page... (?) but here is what was in my RSS feed:

Analysts are really starting to see confirm the value of our enterprise data integration capabilities, compared with other ETL vendors. This report from Forrester calls out our collaborative development environment, our data quality components, our scalability and reliability features, and of course our “seductive“ price-performance ratio.

As the report says: Get ready to take SSIS where you didn't dare take DTS.

Integration services is generating ALOT of hype, as the giant killer to other ETL vendors such as Informatica and Ascentinel. The Forrester report is very kind, saying this is ready for Enterprise ETL use (with a logical explanation too, basing it on a Dec 8 report called ("How to Evaluate Enterprise ETL.") Most MS products don't live up to the hype when it comes down to it, but the jury is still out on this one.
