Data Integration

Data integration is the process of combining data from multiple sources into a unified format for analysis and decision-making. It addresses challenges such as data silos and inconsistencies by transforming disparate data into a consistent structure. This process extends beyond data ingestion to include analysis, visualization, and business intelligence workflows.

What is data integration?

Data integration refers to the process of combining and harmonizing data from multiple
sources into a unified, coherent format that can be put to use for various analytical,
operational and decision-making purposes.
In today's digital landscape, organizations typically can’t function without gathering data
from a wide range of sources, including databases, apps, spreadsheets, cloud
services, APIs and others. In most cases this data is stored in different formats and
locations with varying levels of quality, leading to data silos and inconsistencies.
The data integration process aims to overcome these challenges by bringing together
data from disparate sources, transforming it into a consistent structure and making it
accessible for analysis and decision making.
Unlike, say, data ingestion, which is just one part of data integration, integration carries
through into the analysis phase of data engineering. This means it encompasses data
visualization and business intelligence (BI) workflows. Thus, it carries more
responsibility for data outcomes.
