One constant in today’s business landscape is that it is constantly changing. New markets are opening up and old markets are not what they were. Corporate strategies and business drivers like acquisition and/or divestiture, reducing time to market, changing business processes, and uncertainty in regulatory compliance are all increasing the need for data sharing and an agile business model. Data integration, as part of an effective EIM program, is the vehicle that enables information sharing and helps you position for the opportunities and rapid changes that are now the norm.
SKML has a broad range of experience and expertise in data integration architecture and technologies, as reflected by our services in support of enterprise initiatives such as Business Intelligence / Data Warehousing, Operational Data Store (ODS), Master Data Management (MDM), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Enterprise Messaging / Message Model, and the emerging data integration requirements of Big Data in combination with traditional analytical solutions.
