Data Integration

Leverage data to make smarter and faster business decisions

Your Challenge

Data extract, transform and load (ETL) tools are the foundation for any organization’s strategy to uncover hidden value from its data resources. Getting at the mountains of raw data created by most modern organizations is not a simple task. As they evolve, organizations acquire different applications, operating systems, hardware platforms, and databases. Spread across various departments, divisions, or lines of business, these islands” of information become increasingly isolated and unusable across the enterprise.

ETL tools, also called data integration tools, work to draw information from multiple source systems into a central data warehouse or a group of data marts so that a single version of the truth” is propagated throughout the enterprise. ETL tools also support the exchange of data between business systems, helping to create the real-time enterprise — an environment that maximizes organizational agility and one in which up-to-date information is available to those who need it most.

The growing size of data warehouses is driving the need for organizations to deploy more powerful ETL tools. As data volumes become even greater and data sources multiply, as batch windows shrink or disappear altogether in a 24x7 world, organizations are increasingly turning to data integration solutions that are capable of consolidating all of this raw data quickly and converting into useful information conducive to end user querying, analysis and decision-making.

Doing so is increasingly difficult in an environment where change is the norm and the challenges are mounting. Merger and acquisition activity has never been higher. Professional liability insurance premiums are rising at double-digit rates. New emphasis is being placed on adherence to rules relating to the requirements of lawyers to prevent or disclose client wrongdoing.
