Case Study: VulkanForms Centralizes Data Integration with Etlworks

VulkanForms Leverages Dynamic Connections for Seamless ETL Across Remote Locations.

Introduction

VulkanForms, an innovator in advanced manufacturing solutions, required a robust data integration platform to centralize data from multiple remote locations. With data residing in various local systems behind firewalls, the company needed a secure and scalable solution to extract, transform, and load (ETL) data into a centralized SQL database. The challenge demanded a flexible platform capable of managing dynamic environments without adding complexity to their workflows.

The Challenge

VulkanForms faced several hurdles in their data integration process:

Remote Locations: Data needed to be extracted from systems behind firewalls at multiple remote locations.

Dynamic Environments: Each remote system had unique configurations, requiring a flexible integration approach.

Centralized Access: All data had to be consolidated into a centralized SQL database for real-time insights and reporting.

Why Etlworks

VulkanForms selected Etlworks for its ability to address their specific needs:

• Support for remote data integration agents that can securely operate behind firewalls.

• Dynamic connection capabilities, allowing a single connection and flow to adapt to different systems and databases with parameterized configurations.

• A flexible, no-code platform to streamline data integration without extensive development effort.

The Solution

Etlworks provided VulkanForms with a tailored data integration platform:

Remote Integration Agents: Deployed lightweight agents at each remote location to extract data securely from local systems behind firewalls.

Dynamic Connections: Enabled the use of parameterized connections, allowing the same connection and ETL flow to operate seamlessly across various systems and databases, reducing complexity and setup time.

Centralized Data Hub: Configured ETL pipelines to consolidate data from all remote locations into a centralized SQL database, ensuring real-time visibility.

Results

Streamlined Integration: Successfully connected and extracted data from remote locations with minimal configuration effort.

Efficient Management: Dynamic connections eliminated the need to create and maintain separate flows for each remote system.

Real-Time Insights: Consolidated data into a central SQL database, providing VulkanForms with comprehensive visibility and actionable insights.
