Abstract:  Enterprises face daily challenges to process data, from which very few tools have all the needed functionality to overcome them. Pentaho Data Integration is not an exception but it provides the means to easily extend and accomplish even the most complex tasks. This presentation will have a general overview of the tool, basic concepts of data processing and orchestration, data cleansing and validation, programming and plugin extensions and finally, the integration with disruptive tools like Hadoop and MongoDB.
