AB  - Actually, a set of ETL software (Extract, Transform and Load) is available to 
      constitute a major investment market. Each ETL uses its own techniques for 
      extracting, transforming and loading data into data warehouse, which makes the 
      task of evaluating ETL software very difficult. However, choosing the right 
      software of ETL is critical to the success or failure of any Business 
      Intelligence project. As there are many impacting factors in the selection of ETL 
      software, the same process is considered as a complex multi-criteria decision 
      making (MCDM) problem. In this study, an application of decision-making 
      methodology that employs the two well-known MCDM techniques, namely Analytic 
      Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal 
      Solution (TOPSIS) methods is designed. In this respect, the aim of using AHP is 
      to analyze the structure of the ETL software selection problem and obtain weights 
      of the selected criteria. Then, TOPSIS technique is used to calculate the 
      alternatives' ratings. An example is given to illustrate the proposed 
      methodology. Finally, a software prototype for demonstrating both methods is 
      implemented.
