Data integration is the foundation of modern business. When organizations consolidate the ingestion, cleansing, and transformation of disparate data sources into high-performance pipelines, they can drive analytics insights into every decision.
In order to keep pace with fast-changing business requirements, enterprises must keep pace with best practices in data integration. Chief among these is migrating data integration pipelines to scalable, resilient, and agile cloud platforms.
