EAI and ETL. (Response Time).

I want to compliment Stephen Swoyer on his even-handed treatment of the EAI versus ETL issue in the August 2002 issue ("Application Integration: Mix and Match.")

I agree with his basic message that the most important questions for an organization to answer are: What are my integration needs? What is available to meet them? And what tool or tools should I use to meet these needs, given the particulars of my situation?
