Data Integration
There is a
better way to
make your data
fit your new application
Why should your business care about Data Integration?
Almost every major business initiative results in a new IT system. This requires taking data from existing systems which were originally designed for an entirely different purpose. Data Integration activity typically accounts for between 60% and 80% of the overall implementation effort for the new system. Incredibly, only 1 in 10 projects manage to deliver to time and budget. Overspend is typically 66% more than the budget, and a third of projects are actually cancelled long after the project deadline and budget have expired. Delays of this nature have a massive knock-on effect to project costs, however this is dwarfed by the cost of lost business opportunity.Causes
- Lack of understanding of the existing data due to constant business change
- Data Integration design is a manual, paper-based task and cannot be validated
- Lack of time in analysis and design results in many assumptions
- Difficult to validate that the implementation matches the requirements
- Issues are found during user testing, when remediation is at its most expensive
- People who understand the data cannot build data integration processes
- People who build data integration processes do not understand the data
- Data Integration build is repeated up to 10 times due to design errors
Using X88 Pandora ensures all Data Integration designs are right first time.
