With much amusement I read a blog entry the other day entitled the 10 commandments of data integration. Of course, I wish I’d thought of it myself. Great idea which got me thinking about something witty to respond with! So, how about the 7 deadly sins of data integration! Lost in the midst of time and as a reminder, the 7 deadly sins are gluttony, lust, greed, envy, wrath, sloth and pride. So here goes …
How to avoid the 7 deadly sins of data integration:
- Thou shall not give into data “gluttony” and instead live the lean consumption data integration lifestyle.
- Thou shall not show “greed” over the consumption of more and more and more data, but instead embrace data quality as nirvana.
- Thou shall not show “envy” if you notice your competiors have embraced integration on-demand. Don’t worry, Informatica can guide you along your journey.
- Thou shall not show “wrath” when your hand coding projects come in over budget because you will see there is a better solution.
- Thou shall not exhibit “sloth” at having data to manage in multiple applications and databases, Informatica is the light that will show companies the way.
- Thou shall not exhibit “lust” when you complete your data integration merger milestones with Informatica in record time, under budget and with a single view of your customers.
- Thou shall not show “pride” when your company reaches the data integration pinnacle with Informatica, just beat the pants off your competitors and wink!
