Data integration
Data integration
Data management is a crucial first step to enable your company’s decision-making abilities and support your business intelligence and AI initiatives. At the heart of Data Management lies Data Integration, a critical process that brings together data from multiple sources, formats, and systems into a cohesive, unified view for comprehensive analysis and informed decision making.
The typical organization has a need to integrate data from a mix of on-premises and cloud-based systems, often mixed with ad hoc sources such as flat files. When we talk about integration, we often use the term ETL, which stands for Extract, Transform and Load. The way you extract data from systems can be either ODBC/JBDC, APIs, or flat files. Then you typically need to transform the data using lookups or formulas to match how you need to use the information. Finally, you need to load the data to your data warehouse/datalake/data fabric. The data is the new oil, and the ETL processes are the pipelines.
Essentials for efficient data integration
To do data integration well, you need good data, clear goals, skilled people, and a solid technical platform. The end goal is often to have a transparent process with clearly defined ownership, manageable licensing costs, and the flexibility to expand and change based on new business requirements. The benefits of data integration are numerous and can have a significant impact on your organization.
Key advantages of data integration are:
- Enable digital transformation
- Holistic view of data
- Increased operational efficiency
- Agility and flexibility
Building a trusted data foundation
To have a flexible and reliable data foundation, organizations rely on a standard technical platform to support the pipelines and ultimately the storage and compute of the data. The choice of specific tools and platform depends on the organization’s requirements, existing technology stack, scalability needs, and budget considerations.
