Data Integration Techniques: ETL and Alternatives for Data Consolidation

Data integration is becoming increasingly complex as new expectations and technologies change the face of data warehousing and business intelligence. Design of data integration systems was comparatively straightforward when extract, transform, and load (ETL) was the only option. In today’s world, the demand for real-time and right-time data increases expectations, while scorecards and dashboards increase visibility. Simultaneously, enterprise information integration (EII), enterprise application integration (EAI), master data management (MDM), and customer data integration (CDI) technologies expand the range of possibilities.

This course teaches techniques and skills to build data integration systems that can meet today’s needs and evolve to meet demands of the future. Starting with the right requirements, using the right technologies, and designing for adaptability are central themes throughout the course.
