IDC PeerScape: Best Practices for Data Integration

This IDC PeerScape explores best practices derived from in-depth interviews with organizations implementing modern data integration software platforms across industries including financial services, manufacturing, life sciences, and public sector.The research identifies five recurring challenges and corresponding practices that have proven critical for success in developing, deploying, and scaling data integration initiatives."Modern data integration isn't just about connecting systems, it's about connecting people, processes, and purpose," said Stewart Bond, research vice president, Data Intelligence and Integration Software, IDC. "Organizations that achieved the greatest success treated integration as a managed business capability, not a technical project. A disciplined, incremental approach consistently delivered trusted data at scale and accelerated time to value."
