Technical Advantages
Finally an integration approach that makes sense: efficient, effective, easier, and more fun !
- Inefficient solution: Current solutions mostly consist of creating custom transformations between every format. Point to point approaches are fast but difficult to make, manage and maintain. Hub and spoke approaches are more efficient but more difficult to develop and maintain, and have problems with flexibility. Collibra's semantic integration solution provides the best of both worlds. Creating and maintaining transformations is done centrally by a form of documentation. The actual transformation programs are automatically generated and point-to-point. This provides the necessary efficiency and flexibility.
- Waste of resources: Because current solutions are merely patchwork to make things work, no attention is put into making the process as efficient as possible. Instead of working towards a solutions that can scale and is sustainable, current solutions create legacy instead of reducing it. This means that every new integration problem will take more and more time.
