Help – My Operational Systems Are In Data Jail! How To Reduce Operational Costs and Risk While Accelerating Information Management Projects

Data integration has moved well beyond the ETL processes that create data warehouses. We are now able to enhance our architectures to integrate data in real time easily and with minimal impact on critical operational systems. From operational BI to service oriented architectures (SOA), application consolidation and even master data management (MDM), enterprises are well aware of the power of integrated information to streamline processes, reduce costs, and increase business efficiency. But to succeed, these projects must have steady and reliable delivery of timely business information from across the enterprise, which can be both expensive and resource-intensive. Through an expansion of the data integration architecture, we can reduce operational costs associated with data access and delivery while optimizing resource utilization. We can minimize the risk associated with accessing mission critical data while improving the capture and delivery of data from across the enterprise.
