Best practices for successful
data integrations

Understand risks by using data

Leveraging data analytics can be helpful when trying to plan your data governance framework and data integration strategy. Make informed decisions, strategize risk mitigation plans, and avoid costly oversights.

Create a unified data governance framework

This framework sets the standards, policies, and procedures for data management across the two merging entities. Ensure data quality and compliance during and post data integration execution.

Pilot a Master Data Management tool

Start with a core domain like customer or prospect data. Implement the tool on a small scale to test and refine the data integration process. Create a replicable model and understand the tool’s capabilities.

Classify and profile data

Conduct an audit and detect data domains, sensitive data, redundancies, and potential integration challenges. Understand the data structure and quality to develop an effective data integration strategy.

Scale the data integration process

This process encompasses all data domains. Fully merge, cleanse, standardize, and enrich data from both companies. The result is a unified single source of truth that supports effective business operations.
