Data Integration

Most business initiatives require data to be moved from existing IT systems to another system where it will be used in new ways and provide new functionality.

Data movement (Data Integration) accounts for 60% to 80% of the cost of such projects.

---

Only 1 in 10 of such data integration projects manage to meet all their objectives.

Overspend is typically 66% of the original budget. 30% of projects spend their budget and are cancelled after the project deadline has passed. Worse still, overspend is dwarfed by the loss of business opportunity, and fines resulting from related compliance issues.

Despite the efforts of the people involved, projects fail because the analysis is not good enough, collaboration is poor and data integration specifications are incomplete, incorrect and ambiguous.

X88 Pandora can reduce the costs of your Data Integration projects by over 80%.

It combines the best data analysis (Profiling and Discovery) with interactive data transformation (calculation, standardisation, enrichment, aggregation, matching, etc.).

Users collaborate with data experts, correcting and refining rules, designing and validating complete Data Integration processes by creating Data Prototypes; a process often described as Agile for Data.

X88 Pandora generates the completed ETL (data movement) specification, with test data.

X88 Pandora users build the specified processes using their existing ETL/Data Integration tools, or simply use Pandora to execute the processes, thus avoiding any build phase.
