ETL Tool Prices ?

Vendor
One of the reasons you're having problems getting prices is because in many cases prices are very negotiable. My experience with vendors is that they price according to the use. In many cases, if they know the company is small (i.e., not a lot of money) they will greatly reduce the price of the product. Other things come into play too - such as growth potential (i.e., more licenses), increases market share (beat competitors) and the combination of professional services with the license. Some very rough numbers for a few I've recently dealt with - Sagent - $60K, DataStage - $80K, Informatica - $200K. Again - these numbers vary greatly dependent upon the tool and licensing structures (these aren't on the same project/machine).
Write an RFI and send it to the vendors to get the ball rolling and get some numbers.

Hello. I now that the DataStage products have several different price points. I've seen it as small as $15K for development for one of their modules. I actually have a price list, but not with me. The Informatica PowerMart products are much higher (probablfy $60-200K. Why don't you write your own SQL ETL? It's cheaper. If you call me or send me an email (jmcdonald@endeca.com) I will give you the name of a person who can help you out.

I would appreciate if someone could give me the approximate time it would take for the COGNOS Transformer to load data into a cube from a flat file as compared to a relational table. What are the disadvantages and disadvantages in both cases. Thank you
