FAQs

What is ETL?

ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.

What is Visma Economic?

What data can you extract from Visma Economic?

Visma E-conomic's API provides access to a wide range of data related to accounting and financial management. The following are the categories of data that can be accessed through the API:

1. Customers and Suppliers: Information about customers and suppliers, including contact details, payment terms, and credit limits.
2. Invoices: Details of invoices issued and received, including invoice numbers, dates, amounts, and payment status.
3. Products and Services: Information about products and services offered by the business, including prices, descriptions, and stock levels.
4. Bank Transactions: Details of bank transactions, including deposits, withdrawals, and transfers.
5. Accounting Journals: Information about accounting journals, including general ledger entries, accounts payable, and accounts receivable.
6. VAT: Details of VAT transactions, including VAT rates, amounts, and tax codes.
7. Reports: Access to a range of financial reports, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements.

Overall, the Visma E-conomic API provides comprehensive access to financial data, enabling businesses to streamline their accounting processes and gain valuable insights into their financial performance.

How do I transfer data from Visma Economic?

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps:
1. Set up Visma E-conomic to Databricks Lakehouse as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data too and set it up as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer from Visma E-conomic to Databricks Lakehouse and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud.

What is ELT?

ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.

Difference between ETL and ELT?

ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
