The Alphabet of Information Integration

Susan Andre2009

Back by popular demand!   The ABC of Information Integration and Data Quality…;  The A to Z of Information Integration and Data Quality… ; The XYZ of Information Integration and Data Quality…are Alicornio Africa’s ever popular events which were attended to the maximum over the last number of months.

Sandri Hulbert, Director at Alicornio Africa contributes the high attendance levels due to the fact that the South African market is preparing to embrace the challenges they face with regards to the explosion of data in their organizations. It is evident that most organizations are faced with Data Quality issues and are still struggling to combine and consolidate data from various disparate sources. This process is too complex, prone to errors (such as duplication or non-standardization) , cumbersome and above all,  very costly.

The Sagent Solution software provides the platform for integrating, cleaning and presenting information in a flash. It is quick and easy to do, yet it is extremely powerful and can solve challenging data integration problems at a fraction of the cost of competing software and at much lower cost than manually producing code. The Sagent software can be used for the traditional Data Warehouse and Business Intelligence initiatives but also to solve many other data related issues.

The process of pulling data together, making sure that it is correct, that no duplicates exist and at the same time providing the ability to view the data in any format  without any coding; is something that most organisation are opting for today.  

During the events presented by Alicornio Africa, it is demonstrated how to solve the challenges of managing and integrating data from multiple sources. Problems with duplicate data is shown and resolved while you watch!  Attendees at the event can see for them selves –  since seeing is believing!

This brilliant solution is demonstrated live and shows how to integrate data from multiple sources, while simultaneously cleaning, manipulating, loading and reporting on it – all in the same step.
