Data Integration Challenges & Struggles

A History of Locking Into Vendors and Numerous Ad-Hoc Integrations

The history of enterprise-wide data integration is a history of numerous ad-hoc integrations that were deployed to meet a specific business needs. If  customers wanted to integrate their entire enterprise they had to lock into an overly complex, excessively featured platform from a single proprietary vendor which effectively locked the customer out of leveraging the latest technologies.

YOUnite takes a more reasonable approach to enterprise data integration and is committed to eliminating these kinds of purchasing compromises  IT stakeholders have been forced to make.

The Freedom of Choosing Best-of-Breed Technologies

Data unification is tightly coupled with many related technologies such as data cleaning, data quality, business process management,  data integration and data modeling — and — YOUnite understands that these technologies are constantly evolving and that no single vendor can provide the best overall solution for the customer. 

While other vendors take a one-size-fits-all approach that locks the customer into a proprietary platform, YOUnite takes a more reasonable approach that provides core data integration and data governance capabilities and gives the customer the freedom of choosing technologies that want to integrate into their enterprise ecosystem.

For example, a customer might need to

  • Build their own data cleaning and data quality pipelines to meet the unique needs of their data
  • Leverage an open-source data integration tool such as Kafka
  • Use an existing BPM tool and workflows
  • Develop to systems using REST API interfaces

This protects the customer from locking into a single vendor, but most importantly it gives them the freedom to choose the best technology for the task at hand.

YOUnite's Guiding Principles

YOUnite is built on these core principles:

  1. Protect the customer from locking into a single data integration vendor
  2. Make data integration and data governance as simple as possible
  3. To drive the overall cost of data integration down
  4. To create single pane views across the entire enterprise data tier

These simple principles make it easier for customers to quickly evaluate if YOUnite is the appropriate solution and then, quickly quick-start their data unification initiative. 

If down the road, the customer chooses to unplug YOUnite, they can do so without the risk of loosing their investment in the related data unification technologies.

And this gives data and IT stakeholders what they are looking for …. and that is the freedom of choosing.
