Integrating data in the Information System - An Open Source approach
Most IT Deployments Require Integration
One of the requirements for staying competitive today is deploying
new systems‒RDBMS, business applications such as CRM or ERP, data
warehouses, etc. Whether these systems are based on “traditional”
commercial software products or open source solutions, they are
likely to be deployed in a heterogeneous environment comprising
both traditional and open source solutions, and where internally
hosted packages coexist with systems hosted under the Software as
a Service (SaaS) model.
Indeed, as they add new systems, very few organizations can afford
the luxury of redesigning their entire information system. Any new
technology deployment in an enterprise information system will thus
require the newly deployed system to interoperate‒in one form or
another‒with a number of other applications or databases. This
interoperability, which is essentially based on the exchange of data
between systems (termed data integration), guarantees the
consistency of data in the overall information system.
Consider, for example, an organization that runs SAP as their ERP,
and deploys an e-Business portal based on MySQL. They also
implement a new SaaS CRM application such as SugarCRM or
Salesforce.com and a data warehouse that runs on ParAccel or
Netezza. Such an IT environment would not be at all unusual. Data
would need to be replicated between the CRM and the ERP and
collected from the e-Business Portal. In addition, data from all
systems in the environment would need to be loaded into the data
warehouse.
This white paper describes a number of real-life interoperability
scenarios for applications and databases and explains how Talend
Open Studio, a powerful, open source data integration solution,
addresses various data integration requirements.
