The value and growth of data continues to expand at an exponential rate. The ability to mine these growing piles of data for transformative, informational gold mines requires finding, integrating and analyzing data distributed across systems and companies. Failing to integrate could be as nominal as missing some potential savings across a small distribution channel or as monumental as an entirely new revenue channel and competitive edge for your business. As a result, data integration has quickly taken focus as one of the most important data operations, often capturing a large percent of data processing budgets. With ever changing semantics and scale, successful and streamlined data integration has never been more critical.

In this live discussion, our experienced panelists will debate the new parameters for Data Integration at scale, what you must consider, what to ignore and how to strategically leap ahead of the pack.
