Compliance, competitive business requirements and increasing data volumes are driving companies to rethink enterprise data integration strategies. This podcast gives a comprehensive overview of enterprise data integration basics -- including methods, tools and technologies. Expert Rick Sherman explains the "alphabet soup" of data integration technologies, including extract, transform and load (ETL), enterprise application integration (EAI), enterprise information integration (EII) and many more. We'll also discuss how the new trend toward service-oriented architectures (SOAs) and master data management (MDM) affects data integration plans.
Listeners will get a succinct overview of the differences between common and emerging enterprise data integration technologies, and will learn what drives companies to choose one method over another. Rick also offers expert advice and best practices for strategic project planning.
