About KETL
“KETL” is an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) platform specifically designed for Location and Movement Analytics that is fully privacy compliant.
The effectiveness of Location and Movement Analytics is dependent on how disparate datasets are collected, stored, combined, and transformed. These data sets, from a wide variety of sources, are unstructured and often require complex privacy compliant processing. Generic ETL capabilities are not up to the task. Kogenta has developed expert tools and capabilities over many years to address exactly this issue. The result is the Kogenta ETL platform known as KETL (pronounced “Kettle”). It is here where “insight-ready” data is prepared to satisfy the needs of the most demanding business questions.
