It is our consistent view that data integration at the lowest level of scale and data management at the highest level of scale should be viewed as part of a continuum. This includes data integration that scales from integrating any two or more applications, to then integrating most of the major applications within an enterprise, extracting data for business intelligence, building the data warehousing and then perhaps to the completed implementation of what we would describe as Virtual Master Data Management™. Every point that can tie different applications or utilize their data - one continuum.
Beyond data integration, your visibility and management of your data is key and also part of this continuum. Your data and the key information that organizes your data (your metadata) are part of key visibility for your enterprise that need to be unlocked from proprietary vendor structures and made visible for the benefit of your enterprise. The links that integrate this data need full visibility. You need to see and understand the transforms that tie any two applications together and scale that visibility through a view to your enterprise that allows you a unified view to your data quality, data governance and data compliance.
Advanced data virtualization can uniquely present an enterprise-wide vision for data integration and data visibility at all levels of scale, from a single point implementation to a full enterprise wide deployment. No other technology can do this. This positions advanced data virtualization as a new, powerful, and disruptive technology with broad sweeping implications for the future of information technology management.
