Today, in the age of big data, information is being generated on a massive scale and it has become a critical business imperative to integrate and manage diverse data sources. Because information is valuable only when it flows.
Integrating data from multiple sources can open the door to new ideas, innovations, solutions, and opportunities for organizations. It allows access to a wider range of data sources to uncover hidden insights and make truly data-driven decisions.
According to Forbes, 80% of Business Operations leaders, including those from service delivery, manufacturing, and supply chain, say data integration is critical to their success.
Let’s take a quick look at the benefits of integrating data from diverse sources.
Unified data
Data unified in a single repository makes the data acquisition process simpler and faster. It creates better organizational alignment and reduces the resources involved in procuring and processing the data.
Better collaboration
Traditionally stored data leads to different groups working with different versions of a data set or outdated data, which can lead to confusion or erroneous conclusions. Integrated data allows all groups to work with the same information.
Streamlined operations
Data shared with manual requests and preparation slows down work. However, streamlined, centralized data helps operations teams function better.
Saved time
Integrating data from multiple sources saves time by removing the need for manual data transfer from group to group. This is especially useful when different groups have overlapping data needs or can easily access data simultaneously.
Reduced manual errors
Eliminating manual steps from processes removes the scope of errors, reduces overall risk, and adds efficiency.
Improved predictive analytics
The more data sources available to analytics platforms, the better, as they widen analysis possibilities, empowering creativity and innovation. This also allows more users to take control of business analytics and the long-term benefit of building a data-driven culture.
