Data integratoin tools- Ab initio , Informatica, Talend compared
With the advent of Big data and increasing need for large amount of data handling during integration, we need tools.
What Is a Data Integration Tool?
A data integration tool is software designed to facilitate the process of integrating data from multiple sources into a single, unified view for analysis.
Data integration tools can perform weighty tasks to support the data integration process, including:
Data extraction: The ability to extract data from various sources, including databases, cloud services, APIs and file systems.
Data transformation: The ability to transform data into a standardized format, including data mapping, data quality checks and data enrichment.
Data loading: The ability to load the transformed data into a target data repository, such as a data warehouse or database.
Data management: The ability to manage the data integration process, including scheduling and monitoring data integrations, managing dependencies, and providing auditing and reporting capabilities
