The process of combining and harmonizing data from different sources and systems within a company is called data integration. Companies of all sizes benefit from this, because during the process information silos are broken down, redundancies are eliminated and a holistic understanding of processes is created.

Potentials of data integration.

Decision making: Seamless data sharing across systems, departments, and even external partners enables companies to gain valuable insights for future operational decisions.

Productivity: Automating data flow and eliminating manual data entry reduces the risk of errors, saves time, and allows employees to focus on value-added tasks instead of tedious data management.

Distribution: Integrated customer data from the various touch points generate a 360-degree view of each individual customer for companies. This makes sales success more predictable.

Collaboration and innovation:  In addition to collaboration, data integration from disparate systems promotes agile decision making and accelerates cross-departmental innovation.

Data integration challenges.

Data quality: To avoid inconsistencies, duplicates, and data quality issues, implementing data governance processes and establishing data quality frameworks are essential.

Data security: Companies must take appropriate security measures to protect sensitive data across the entire IT architecture.

Compatibility: Ensuring compatibility and seamless data transfer between systems requires the use of suitable adapters that act as connectors or translators between systems.
