IBM InfoSphere Information Server vs. Minitable

Information Server is extremely useful to replace manual developments that require a lot of coding effort. It significantly increases the productivity of the initial development and the future maintenance of the processes since it has a visual development environment with self-documentation.

Some scenarios where it has helped me was where there was a large group of customers on sight who all wanted to eat but we wanted to provide individual meals to them, so we used Minitable to show them the menu in the morning and have them submit their order by 10:30 am to put in the order and have it ready by 11:30. It was not so appropriate for smaller groups where some did not have an account to Minitable.

• IIS best for ETL ,not ELT , and many and diffrent source systems.
• It also can process big data , unstuctured data
• It is not only DWH , you can use infosphere for analys and see the bigger architecture of your OLTP systems

DataStage is more robust and stable than ODI The ability to perform complex transformations or implement business rules is much more developed in DS

I do not like using Airkit at all, but I would say Minitable is comparable to DoorDash.... just cannot reserve a table on DoorDash like you can on Minitable. Minitable is more business-friendly than DoorDash and Airkit. I would only use Minitable in a business setting and I would use DoorDash in a personal setting.

• Productivity of the development of integration processes.
• Better documentation and governance.
• Reduce training costs of various technologies.

• There are no processing fees, so company does not have to pay for ordering.
• Paying for customers meals is never great on ROI but must be done.
• Customers enjoy picking their own meal and having it delivered.
