The Business User's Guide to Data Integration: Solving Your Business Problems with Connected Systems
It’s 2023! Surely all our business software talks to each other nicely? Right?
You probably already know that isn’t right at all.
There are a huge number of people in the world who are not IT or data people – in finance and accounting, sales, marketing or operations – who have business problems that would be solved by connecting data from multiple systems together. They probably wouldn’t do the data integration work themselves, but the whole idea is so technical and overwhelming that they don’t even know how to start solving their problems. So they don’t.
If that sounds like you, then this short book is for you. It’s designed to help business users like you understand your options for data integration, what to think about when you’re looking at them, questions to ask providers, and explanations of terms you’re likely to bump into along the way.
It’s not a technical how-to guide, and presumes no technical knowledge. But by the end of it, you’ll be able to confidently speak to providers of integration services, consider the pros and cons of different options, and make a strong internal business case to solve your problems.
Data integration doesn’t have to be scary!

clear Simple Summary of Database Integration
An excellent and helpful summary for business owners or operations teams tackling database integration for the first time.
The section on user cases and gathering requirements will be a big help to explain your business to third parties.
Although I miss the brevity of the authors first publication I look forward to the next instalment in this series.
