“Centerprise has served our company significant programming time and resources. With
our former tool we would have had to build complicated SSIS packages to transform
huge amounts of disparate incoming data.”

“ Centerprise met all our criteria for high development productivity, excellent
performance, workflow design, and process automation”

effective.”
