Stop Paying for Connectors You Don’t Use: Inside the PropelZ App Store
Open your integration contract. Count the connectors you actually use. Now look at what you’re paying for.
That gap — between the two you run and the eighty you licensed — is the business model of every ETL suite on the market. You buy the catalog. You deploy a corner of it. You pay maintenance on the rest, forever.
PropelZ tears that up. The PropelZ App Store works like an app store, not a megadeal: core VSAM and sequential connectivity comes standard, and everything else — Snowflake, Databricks, PostgreSQL, BigQuery, Splunk, watsonx, 100+ targets — switches on only when you need it. One connector, one target, same day. Add the next when the business asks. Your bill follows your data, not a price sheet.
In 30 minutes we’ll open the App Store live, show exactly how licensing works — per operating system, unlimited data volume, zero per-MIPS games — and put the real number next to a traditional suite. Bring the connectors you care about; we’ll pull them up.
If you’ve ever signed a six-figure renewal and felt the shelfware, come see the other way to buy.
