Think of a company, any size, which uses a commercial ERP application. One day the owners realize that the licenses are consuming an important share of its budget. So they decide to migrate to an open source ERP. The company will no longer have to pay licenses, but if they want to change, they will have to migrate the information. Obviously, it is not an option to start from scratch or type the information by hand. Kettle makes the migration possible, thanks to its ability to interact with most kind of sources and destinations, such as plain files, commercial and free databases, and spreadsheets, among others.
