Implementation Techniques
Premier Sponsor
Active collection of the necessary data from the sources with an import connector Asset management systems (e.g. HPAM, SCCM), Database, Table, or remote directories (through S/FTP, SCP, ODB, etc.)
Transformation of the data using Import Pre-Processors (IPP) or Import Templates if the data is not in the correct format
Loading the data in Aspera SmartTrack; the import load is configurable in the Import Control Processor (ICP)
Extract Transform Load
