Today organisations rely on data from many sources, long gone are the days of a stock control system including customer details running a business. Now organisations have multiple systems, dealing with each area of their business.
Data Platform Integrations pull these systems together, it joins the dots up between systems in an organisation. Integrating Data Platforms allows one process from start to finish bringing so many benefits.
Integrating Data Platforms gives businesses faster and simpler connections to their data, systems are joined together providing more insights, each providing improvements between systems for the business. This higher quality of collaboration will gain a competitive edge.
To compete against rival companies businesses in all industries require data that is simple to understand, up to date, and consistent. Integrating Data Platforms, results in more efficient processes providing high-quality data. It will provide users with a view of the whole organisation, rather than disparate slices of information.
A considered integration will include automating processes, this alone will reap benefits: time saved from manual processing, double keying the same data into multiple systems, automation will reduce mistakes in the data, it stops users re-creating the same work separately and importantly gives a 'Single Source of Truth'.
Integration will provide an opportunity to review processes, removing the 'how we have always done it' steps, streamlining business processing. The process of integrating data platforms will question if the current method is still the correct way. It will review discrepancies in data between systems which is often an issue where companies have merged systems.
These are questions and concerns we sometimes get asked when starting a data integration project.
WB Data Focus has been integrating data systems for more than fifteen years. Data Platform Integrations benefit the whole business. It is important from the start to establish the team, including project sponsors, IT, business managers, business experts and the everyday users.
Initially, we workshop the high-level requirements of the integration with everyone. Then the decision is taken where to start, building a complete system would be too complex and time-consuming as an initial first phase.
WB Data Focus will help our client establish a process or area of business which is prominent but currently inefficient, whilst being technical enough to prove the new technology works.
As a Microsoft Gold Partner, we will use Azure technologies to deliver your solution. We will deliver a solution which can be supported in the future or managed in house.
Using an Agile approach after an initial successful delivery we will repeat the process, select the next process and integrate it.
