Blending data from different sources unlocks new insights and revenue opportunities.

Everyone knows about the importance of data integration, but few manage to implement it successfully. That’s because there’s a step to the integration process that often goes unmentioned—data preparation. Data comes at you from all directions and in all forms. You have relational databases, NoSQL sources, data from SaaS apps like SalesForce, data from Progress® OpenEdge® and more. All these sources treat data differently, which is a serious problem. In order to leverage your data in a meaningful way, you must first prepare it in order to convert it to a common format. This is usually a painstaking process often requiring someone to copy and paste rows of data by hand all while searching for records that match, de-duplicating repeated entries and correcting errors.

Luckily, there is a solution—Progress® Easyl®.
