In today’s fast-paced, competitive environment, IT teams
are under pressure to deliver technology solutions for many critical business
initiatives as fast as possible. When the focus is on speed, it can be easy to
continue to use old style, point-to-point custom scripts that grow organically
to the point where they are unmanageable and too costly to maintain.As data volumes, data sources, and end users grow, uncoordinated data
integration efforts create significant inefficiencies for both IT and business
users. In addition to losing IT productivity due to maintaining spaghetti
architecture, data integrity becomes a concern as well. Errors caused by
inconsistent, data and manual data entry can prove very costly for companies
and disrupt business activities.
Many industry leaders recognize now that data should be moved in an automated and reliable manner across all platforms to have one version of the truth.By simplifying their data integration architecture and standardizing on a centralized approach, IT teams now accelerate time to market. Especially, using a centralized, shared-service approach brings agility, increases IT productivity, and frees up resources for innovation.
One such industry leader that simplified its data
integration architecture is Sabre Holdings. Sabre Holdings provides
distribution and technology solutions for the travel industry, and is a winner
of Oracle Excellence Awards for Fusion Middleware in 2011 in the data
integration category.I had the pleasure
to host Sabre Holdings on a public webcast and discuss their data integration
best practices for data warehousing. In this webcast Sabre’s Amjad Saeed, presented
how the company reduced complexity by consolidating systems and standardizing
development on Oracle
Data Integrator and Oracle
GoldenGate for its global data warehouse development team. With Oracle’s
complete real-time data integration solution, Sabre
also streamlined support and maintenance operations, achieved real-time view in
the execution of the integration processes, and can manage the data warehouse
and business intelligence solution performance on demand.By reducing complexity and
leveraging timely market insights, the company was able to decrease time to
market by 40%.
