Data integration has moved into a key role for consolidating information for critical business events like mergers & acquisitions, sales and financial forecasting, and understanding customer trends. Compiling these sorts of data in a consolidated format enables the business to make more informed decisions while providing the power to understand customers in real-time.

The challenge of the data integration process is that information consolidation from various sources requires complex dependencies. This process flow, referred to as Extract-Transform-Load (ETL), sometimes results in inaccurate information if the proper dependencies aren’t met. It can also suffer from other problems, like information availability, failed process audits, and overall business agility in responding to changing customer needs.

To solve the challenge of data reliability and ETL process automation, Millennium Pharmaceuticals paired Informatica PowerCenter with Tidal Software’s job scheduler, Tidal Enterprise Scheduler.
