Data Integration
What is data integration?
The purpose of data integration is to merge data from different sources. This allows you to use the data unambiguously and analyze it in a uniform way. Data integration enables you to respond flexibly to the ever-growing wishes regarding data. At the same time, you can keep an eye on the right governance and the application of consistent business logic.
Why is it important?
Every day we produce 2.5 quintillion bytes of data. In other words, the volume of data is growing at an unbelievable rate. At the same time, you have many different source systems ranging from “on-premise” systems to solutions that run in the cloud. In addition, you often also have all kinds of external data sources that are used in the decision-making process. To ensure that you can provide business processes with the correct and complete data, it is necessary that data from different systems are linked together. It is also important that the organization uses the same information everywhere. Data integration, therefore, offers you the link between data sources and the necessary unambiguity of the data.
