Data Integration – Choosing the Right Approach

Several times this week, in different circumstances, I was asked a question having these three words close together. That’s not new. It happened previously. But this concentration triggered the write-up that follows. Nothing original and neither is the reason to write it: Everything that needs to be said has already been said. But since no […]
