State of the Data Integration Market
Posted in: Business Intelligence - May 04, 2011Data integration technology has evolved from simple extract, transform, and load (ETL) procedures to include real-time data movement, bidirectional replication/synchronization, along with data quality and data profiling. It plays a key role in data warehouses, data marts, decision support systems, data hubs, and many other critical information systems, both on premise and in the cloud. Yesterday’s ETL solutions have become complete data management platforms that support batch and real-time data access, heterogeneous changed data capture, Web services, and zero downtime migrations and upgrades. These platforms include sophisticated technology for data movement, data synchronization, data quality and data management. In short, what was once considered mere IT “plumbing” now influences just about every aspect of IT, and touches just about every type of stakeholder. This paper examines the trends that are driving data integration technology with attention to data access, data transformation, data availability, and other important features.top
