Two completely different tools.

Data Integrator is an ETL tool.
BW Workbench is a system to load data into BW.

Could we insert data into SAP BW environment with the help of BODI?

I believe BODI’s DT extracts data only from SAP source. Correct me if I’m wrong.

As said, BODI is an ETL tool. So you can read from all sources - databases, cobol copybooks, Oracle apps, Peoplesoft, JDE, WebServices, flat files, MQ, JMS, SAP ERP, SAP BW,… - and load it into anything, including SP BW.
