Etl Tv Analyzer: Fill & Download for Free

I would suggest start with MySQL.It has a large community, is free and open source, and can install on all major operating systems.Lots of tutorials, books and forums to assist you with installation and usability.Next start playing around with some data, figure out different ways to structure and analyze it. Sporting stats, tv stats, whatever data interests you and you can get your hands on.BTW, most governments post lots of data (weather, crime, economics) to the public.Play around with it, data-mine it, figure out something like ETL (Extract Transform Load) or data warehousing ideas. For some more advanced topics.

It depends on your purpose.If you want to aggregate and display metrics from multiple data sources:1) Dashboard softwareThere are very good software (listed above) and even open source solutions for showing your metrics with different widgets (number, gauge, etc…). Those tools generally support real-time/TV screen display and they have a lot of pre-built connectors to other SaaS application, which is great to get a quick (but limited) value on your data sources.The downside of a dashboard software is not the time investment but the quality of analysis and insights that you can derive from them. Indeed, those tools are good to show few metrics in real time on a TV monitor but don’t really help you to identify business bottlenecks and opportunities of improvements.Based on your question description, I understand that:Your need is less to summarize the data into a single screen but to optimize your performance and to identify your business blind spots. So you necessarily need to perform historical comparison and analyze trends.For this purpose, a dashboard software will not help you.2) BI SoftwareThose products software have a vast quantity of features (from data integration, ETL, mashups to visualization etc...) but the "tools" that claim to be business intelligence solutions are mainly focused on one single task: making Excel data look prettier.They are point-and-click data visualization software that creates prettier data presentations from Excel spreadsheets (and of course from other sources of raw data). Here again, you need to define your dashboard and setup every widgets on your own...These tools might work for organizations that need to dive deep into their data for analysis. They do the job they're designed to do, but they don't drive operational improvements, or enhance knowledge of the business. The other big problem is that it's going to cost you a ton of time and money…Conclusion:Maybe a good choice for data analysts (that need access to all the data to make adhoc analysis), but a bad and not affordable for Startups and decision makers that need something simple and actionnable.3) An (hopefully better) alternativeThe most expensive resource of a startup is the time (we run a startup also, so we know this very closely). The last thing you want is to drawn into a sea of metrics. You need a tool that empower you with a clear view of your business performance.That’s exactly the reason we are building Bilbeo.Bilbeo | Uncover your business blindspots without investing time in analysis.What’s Bilbeo?Bilbeo is a web application that helps small companies improve business performance using a dashboard that instantly reveals the business weaknesses, without investing time in analysis.We use unique statistics & data mining algorithms that enable us to auto-populate a business dashboard and uncover the underlying leading indicators that really drive the business performance.Key FeaturesType SQL-> Get a Dashboard, Automatic alerts, Push reports, Thresholds, Leading indicator algorithm, SQL Connector, Excel dashboard templates…PricingPricing is public.KPI Dashboard that reveal your business blind spots.Be alerted whenever something requires your attention.KPI Dashboard Template for early-stage startupsIf you are an early-stage startup and you search for inspiration to build your own KPI Dashboard, I strongly recommend this post from Christoph Janz @ Point Nine Capital: A KPI dashboard for early-stage SaaS startupsWe’ve built a template based on the Christoph’s sheet to populate your whole dashboard automatically with Bilbeo:
