Data Integration is the process of linking together different sources of data to achieve an overall level of functionality based on a single source. As the volume of information and data sources used by business continues to grow at a rapid rate, the process of merging disparate data into a common repository offers many benefits both to the people and companies using the data.

How much time and effort does it take to collect, analyze and distribute company performance reports and the various initiatives where management visibility is required?  Over the years, companies have adopted many specialized applications for specific purpose and while they continue to provide value, integrating the data is often an administrative task in the preparation cycle of reporting.  If resources are tight and lead time to access comprehensive reports or the collection and sharing of strategic information is an issue, Nova can help eliminate those barriers by automating the interoperability of systems to provide secure, accurate and efficient processes of collecting data.

Our work with data integration enables companies to continue using legacy systems as we automate the collecting of data from the various source systems and script the integration in the background.  Once data streams are standardized, it provides a new baseline for many other functions in addition to providing a comprehensive view of enterprise performance.  Some examples include:

• Integrated Reports
• Report Automation
• Process Automation
• Collaboration
• Dashboards and Scorecards

Our Managing Director, Sandra De Silva has significant experience in data integration as it was a key factor in her decision to launch Nova and it continues to be a strong functional area of Nova’s business today.
