Yahoo Data Source

Yahoo is a web services provider. It offers a range of different web services such as email, a web
portal, search engine, advertising platform, and news sites. Yahoo was one of the pioneers of
internet services, being established in 1994.

For small businesses, Yahoo (previously Aabaco Small Business) can provide a range of different
platforms and services to help them to grow online. Some of the services include business email
accounts, web hosting, user domain names and mail systems, and website building.

The web Yahoo services can also be used as a data source. Data is essential for the running of a
modern day business, impacting on everything from the way that you engage with your customers
to how you understand customer behaviour. By moving the data that is generated by Yahoo into
your business’s data storage, you can gain a better understanding, carry out analytics, and,
ultimately, make the best decisions for you.

ETL Your Yahoo

Gravity Data’s ETL or ELT tool can be used to move this valuable data from Yahoo through to your
data warehouse or storage process. Through this process, the data is extracted from Yahoo, then
transformed and loaded (or loaded then transformed) into your data storage process where you can
then use it. The process is quick and easy, ensuring that it is effective for you and your business.
