I'm surprised there's no mention of Ab Initio, which looks like [1], in these threads. AFAIK they were the pioneer in BI ETL while everyone else was copying.
Then again, they are pretty secretive, and that may be why I can't find any videos of the tool itself in use (edit here's one [3]), maybe due to copyright takedown requests.
That software was the successor of Thinking Machines [2], which was the hot AI company of the 80s AI boom. The software itself is quite good at parallelizing logic. And, the graphical front-end makes it easy for non-programmers to pick up the tool.
