What’s one thing that’s common between a jigsaw puzzle and business’s data analytics? Well, it’s like how we sit and try to solve a puzzle. We place pieces next to each other and see if they fit in. Well let’s do some digging and check this out.
There is no dearth of data in the world of business. But this vast wealth of data is of very little value till we can unify them into a single, systematic view- similar to our jigsaw puzzle. The puzzle pieces makes sense only when you integrate them. And this is possible only through data integration which involves approaches like ingestion, ETL mapping, and transformation. Data integration allows the analytics tools to obtain valuable insights and business intelligence. Once the data from different sources are transformed into actionable items, a clear path of business growth can be charted.
Why is data integration needed aka the data analysis jigsaw ?
Data integration is a must if you want to leverage the maximum benefits out of your business. Following are some of the cited needs as to why businesses must solve the data analytics puzzle :
Data integration makes the validation of information more accurate. This helps in the removal of duplications and inconsistencies leading to cleaner, more dependable, and error-free data.
But enterprise management has transformed vastly over the last few decades, where on-premise data stores have been replaced by modern cloud-based data warehousing. Despite that predicting the future analytics requirements of a business, using only the traditional sources of transactional data like SAP and Mainframe remains a far cry.
How to address the problem aka solve the puzzle ?
So to make a more futuristic assessment of how business needs will change, we need a robust data integration platform. A platform that should be able to deliver unified views of the most accurate and analytics-ready data available in real-time. Thus, to align with this growing demand, many enterprises are now warming up to a culture of Data Ops.
