DATA INTEGRATION

Extract Transform Load


Extract Transform Load (ETL) is a specific type of data process, that moves data from one platform (source) to another (destination or target). ETL processes Extract data from the source, Transform data formats if necessary, and then Load data into the destination. ETL processes rely on detailed metadata mapping and are technology dependent, since the internals of each data platform are different. ETL is the cornerstone of data integration.


DATA INTEGRATION

External Data


External Data are data sources and data services residing outside the business enterprise. External data is a valuable resource for an organization that delivers value-added products and services to clients and customers. ETL processes access and synchronize data between external and internal data platforms and APIs. Integrating external data within an organization is a game changer.


DATA INTEGRATION

Master Data


Master Data Management (MDM) is the comprehensive method used to define and manage a single source of reference for the critical data of an organization. ETL processes synchronize master data residing in different products and data platforms, to provide a consistent view of the underlying data across the enterprise. Consistent operational data is mission critical to the enterprise.


DATA INTEGRATION

Reference Data


Reference Data define permissible values and enforce data integrity across the business enterprise. This type of data rarely changes and gains value when standardardized, re-used, and widely referenced. ETL processes synchronize reference data throughout the enterprise, to prevent discrepancies and data quality issues. Reference data is the lifeblood of an organization.


DATA INTEGRATION

Migration & Conversion


Data Migration is the process of selecting, preparing, extracting, and transforming data and permanently transferring it from one computer storage system to another. Data Conversion is the process of selecting, preparing, extracting, and transforming data and permanently transferring it from one product or data platform to another. ETL processes transfer existing data to new or upgraded storage systems, products, and data platforms. Data migration and conversion is the most common data integration activity.
