"We currently use the Data Academy 5.3 product for our company’s ETL (or ELT as Insource use it) solution. We have been using it since Dec2007 and have found it to be a useful data warehouse building tool. It simplifies the process of creating MS SQL 2005 SSIS packages for extracting and loading from the transactional databases, and does the same for the transformational process by creating datasets.
I have not found any tools on the market that does what Insource Data Academy does. It has simplified the overall process of creating a data warehouse by making MS SQL’s inherent functionality more accessible.
We currently use it for our core transactional database and have been able to create various datasets that update on a scheduled basis and produce automated figures for our company’s performance indicators. We also use it to extract information from the core system for integration to other systems."

Insource Data Academy offers a fast, and user friendly, development route which meant we were able to deploy quality BI to the business, with data from 4 disparate technology platforms in under 6 months.
One additional thing worth keeping in mind. The guys at Insource are not your run of the mill consultant/developers. They have a pragmatic business approach to getting the job done and are not just selling a product they designed and built it."
