Expert Panel Discussion – Data Integration Trends and Best Practices Webinar
Data integration is the foundation of modern business. When organizations consolidate the ingestion, cleansing, and transformation of disparate data sources into high-performance pipelines, they can drive analytics insights into every decision.
In order to keep pace with fast-changing business requirements, enterprises must keep pace with best practices in data integration. Chief among these is migrating data integration pipelines to scalable, resilient, and agile cloud platforms.

- What are the hallmarks of modern data integration?
- What trends are spurring enterprises to modernize their data integration capabilities?
- Why should enterprises modernize their data integration platforms, processes, and organizations?
- What core capabilities are essential for deploying a full-featured enterprise data integration stack?
- What emerging data integration best practices are needed to support sophisticated new use cases in artificial intelligence, distributed analytics, and low-latency streaming?
- What new techniques should enterprises consider for reducing the cost and improving the efficiency of their data integration processes?
- How feasible is it for enterprises to entirely automate their data integration processes?
- To what extent can and should self-service tools be used to help business analysts and other nontraditional roles build and deploy sophisticated data integration pipeline logic?
