Did you know about http://download.microsoft.com/download/6/9/d/69d1fea7-5b42-437a-b3ba-a4ad13e34ef6/SQL2008SSISComparison.docx comparing SSIS to IBM Information Server (DataStage), Informatica PowerCenter, Oracle Warehouse Builder, and Oracle Data Integrator? I had heard rumors of its existence, but I hadn’t actually seen the links for it until now.
I saw a lot of good points in there, but looking at the chart on page 2 (which I’ve included below), it seems to me that it may have a slight bias towards SSIS…
What do you think? Are white papers like this an effective way to get our message out there?
EDIT: The spell checker in http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/ suggests “overeater” for “PowerCenter” … I found that amusing.
