What is a Data Pipeline?

The backbone of every data-driven organization

ETL stands for Extract, Transform, Load — the automated process of pulling data from source systems, transforming it into a consistent and usable format, and loading it into a destination for reporting, analytics, or operations.

Without ETL, your data lives in silos. Finance works from one system, sales from another, operations from a third. Reports take days to compile manually. Decisions get made on stale or inconsistent information.

Sesame Software's ETL solution automates this entire process — deployed inside your own infrastructure — so your organization runs on a single, trusted source of truth, refreshed automatically.

Unique Capability

What is Reverse ETL?

Traditional ETL moves data from source systems into a warehouse for analytics. Reverse ETL does the opposite — it pushes warehouse-ready, transformed data back into your operational tools, so your teams always act on the most current, trusted information.

Sales teams in Salesforce see data enriched and validated by your warehouse — not raw CRM input

Marketing platforms receive accurate customer segments calculated centrally — not manually exported

Operations teams act on unified inventory figures — not fragmented system exports

Common Use Cases

ETL for every enterprise workflow

Select a use case to see how Sesame Software handles it — from BI enablement to legacy modernization and reverse ETL.

01 — Analytics & BI

Business Intelligence & Analytics Enablement

Extract data from Salesforce, NetSuite, Oracle, and other systems. Transform it into a clean, consistent format. Load it into your analytics warehouse — feeding Tableau, Power BI, or ML platforms without impacting live app performance or waiting for overnight batch jobs.

Used by financial services, operations, and RevOps teams consolidating data from multiple sources into a single queryable warehouse. ETL runs on a configurable schedule — as frequently as every few minutes.

02 — Finance & ERP

Financial Data Consolidation

Pull financial records from multiple ERPs and accounting systems — NetSuite, Oracle JD Edwards, Workday — normalize currency, date formats, and field mappings, and load into a reporting database for accurate cross-system financial analysis.

Common in enterprises with multiple ERPs across business units or geographies. Sesame Software's SQL transformation layer handles currency conversion, date normalization, and field standardization automatically.

03 — Modernization

Legacy System Modernization

Extract data from legacy systems — IBM DB2, AS400, Sybase — transform it into a modern schema, and load into cloud data warehouses. Move off fragile custom scripts and onto governed, automated ETL that handles schema changes automatically.

Sesame Software's BYOD capability and native JDBC support means legacy systems that other ETL tools can't connect to are fully supported — AS400, DB2, Sybase, and any system with a JDBC driver.

04 — Operations

Operational Data Synchronization

Keep inventory, customer, and order data synchronized across operational platforms — Oracle Commerce Cloud, Salesforce, and ERP systems — automatically and continuously. Eliminate manual syncs and ensure every system reflects the same truth.

Writeback operations in Sesame Software allow results to be written directly back to your operational database after each sync — creating a full audit trail of every synchronization event.

Predictable annual pricing based on your connectors — no per-row fees, no consumption-based billing surprises as your data scales. Unlimited data movement, flexible deployment, your data stays under control and ready for AI.

FAQ

Every ETL question, answered directly

Each answer below is written to give you a complete, direct response — whether you're evaluating for the first time or in a final vendor comparison.

ETL by Sesame Software

What is ETL?

ETL stands for Extract, Transform, Load — the automated process of pulling data from source systems, transforming it into a consistent format, and loading it into a destination for analytics or operations. Sesame Software automates this entire process with no heavy custom coding required.

What is the difference between ETL and ELT?

ETL transforms data before loading it into the destination. ELT loads raw data first and transforms it inside the destination warehouse afterward. Sesame Software is an ETL tool — it transforms data during the pipeline using native SQL Query Wizards at the Select, Insert, and Update stages.

What is Reverse ETL?

Reverse ETL pushes warehouse-validated data back into operational tools like Salesforce or HubSpot — so teams act on centrally validated data rather than raw CRM input. Sesame Software supports reverse ETL with flexible, low-code pipeline configuration.

Does Sesame Software require coding for ETL?

Basic ETL configuration requires no coding. Complex transformations use native SQL via built-in Query Wizards that auto-generate the base SQL — your team customizes from there without writing scripts from scratch. Most teams are running their first job in under an hour.

How long does ETL setup take?

Full implementation — installing, configuring, and running your first ETL job — takes less than an hour for most customers. This is documented in our user manual and consistent across 23+ years of enterprise deployments.

Where is my data stored and processed?

All data is processed and stored entirely within your own environment — your cloud account or on-premise servers. Sesame Software has zero access to your data at any point in the ETL process. Nothing passes through our infrastructure.

How does pricing work?

Predictable annual pricing based on your connectors — not per-row or consumption-based. Your costs stay flat as data volumes grow, unlike consumption-based tools that charge by rows processed or data volume moved.

What happens if an ETL job fails?

The platform includes automatic retry logic for timeouts and disconnects. If a job cannot recover, your team receives configured email alerts. Writeback operations record success or failure results directly in your database for a complete audit trail.

Can ETL jobs be scheduled automatically?

Yes. The built-in Cron-based scheduler lets you automate ETL jobs to run as frequently as every few seconds or as infrequently as once a year — no external orchestration tool required.

What if my system isn't listed in your connectors?

The Bring Your Own Driver (BYOD) capability lets you supply any JDBC driver using a standard template to connect to virtually any data system — including legacy systems like AS400, DB2, and Sybase not in the standard library.
