Enterprise Data Integration saving millions of dollars for companies

Well, it has been agreed upon unanimously that data is going to be the key driving factor behind the reason why some businesses will succeed and ones that will not in the near future. Organizations which will understand the importance of data are likely to do better in the coming days in comparison to those which will fail to capture and utilize them. Given such a premise, even if one ignores external data sources, overlooking the value of its own internal data could be very detrimental to the growth of the organization and could be affecting the bottom line heavily.

For most companies, internal data is fragmented even today. By this we mean, due to a number of software and services working in silos, there is never really a link between all the data that is being generated. For instance, there is no common language between the CRM data and the data being generated from the manufacturing unit or the ones from the accounting system. Individual departments might be having their own MIS in Excel but that is an obscure way to do it with zero interconnectivity, and data consistency is lost.

We at AllianceTek help our clients achieve their enterprise synergy by integrating the isolated legacy systems through common threads of the consistent language of data thereby giving the management more power to see through what exactly is happening within and outside their organization.

Data Fragmentation: The hole in your Balance Sheet

Not everybody understands the way businesses lose money. Even experienced business managers, only see the obvious like inventory pile-up, higher op-ex, etc as the reasons for the loss in profits. However, if one looks slightly deeper into the system, one will see a phenomenon called “data fragmentation”. Data fragmentation divides a business into bits & pieces making it look like an unsolved puzzle piece. Without the whole picture at hand, it is very difficult to take effective decisions.

For example, each division will have its own systems to maintain data and if they do not all come together, one cannot look at the situation as at the bigger picture as a whole. The sales team will not be able to guess why a certain part of their segment is not yielding enough results unless they see the data in the marketing department which probably says they have been overlooking that particular segment in their campaigns. In order for a business to scale up, data fragmentation is very crucial.

Cloud: The Uniting End Point

There are different reasons why an increasing number of organizations are adopting the cloud as a solution to reduce the overhead, and maintenance costs with increased security for their enterprise data. The transition into an online cloud-based solution is huge especially if companies are directly jumping from their fragmented obscure legacy systems.

We at AlianceTek help companies come to a common end-point in terms of all the data that is being generated and is about to move into the cloud from their business. In order to implement the cloud into every nook and corner of your organization, one has to understand and find all the sources of data. This is not easy given in most companies finding the hidden sources of data in every department itself is a mammoth task.

Inefficient Utilization of Storage

Another major reason behind companies adopting the cloud remains the streamlining of storage space and cutting out on the huge cost of maintaining such infrastructure. Enterprise data integration results in reduced data fragmentation optimizing storage space.

Privacy and Security:

With databases working in silos, one of the common fears will be that of privacy and security, at AllianceTek while we integrate your data, your data security is of utmost importance to us. That results in an overall sense of increased security and protection within the organization among the employees.
