How to Use the Right Tools for Operational Data Integration - a webinar featuring Mark Madsen

Data integration tools were once used solely in support of data warehousing, but that has been changing over the past few years. The fastest growing area today for data integration is outside the data warehouse, whether it's one-time data movement for migrations and consolidations or real-time data synchronization for master data management projects.

Data integration tools have proven to be faster, more flexible and more cost effective for operational data integration than the common practice of hand-coding or using application integration technologies. The developer focus of these technologies also makes them a prime target for open source commoditization.

Watch this webinar to learn about the differences between analytical and operational data integration, technology patterns and options, and recommendations for how to begin using tools for operational data integration.

During this presentation you will learn:

• How to map common project scenarios to integration architectures and tools
• The technology and market changes that favor use of tools for operational data integration
• The differing requirements for operational vs. analytic data integration
• Advantages of open source for data integration tasks
