The Xpert Service vision is that integration of data is the key success factor for today's leading organisations.
Data is the foundation of all styles of integration
Despite advances in application and business process integration, organisations must realise that the bulk of integration work involves data integration — that is, ensuring that data is accessible to the tools and applications that need it, and synchronised between applications that share it.
Organisations should deal with data
Almost all types of integration require organisations to deal with data. Data needs to be accessed, transformed and moved to tie together disparate applications and databases, or to ensure that these applications and databases reflect a consistent view of the organisation.
The integration consciousness
Organisations need to recognise that data is the foundation of all styles of integration, and should continue to cultivate the necessary skills and resources, as well as deploy specialised technology, for data integration.
