The exponential increase in the number and complexity of databases and interfaces between them, as well as the huge rise in the importance of efficient data governance and data quality management, has changed the landscape of metadata management. Similarly, the emergence of dimensional data shook the foundations of data modelling.

The alternative to data integration is data disparity which leads to miscommunication, misunderstanding, confusion, uncertainty, and misinformed business decisions and actions. Data integration is important, but it is complex and challenging. The variety of reasons for data integration (data warehousing, master data management, data migration, etc.), the increasing scope of data sources (enterprise data, external data, big data, web data, etc.), and the growth in data integration techniques and technologies (ETL, ELT, federation, virtualization, etc.) all contribute to data integration complexities. From defining integration requirements to acquiring and unifying data the integration choices are abundant. Effective and sustainable data integration systems depend on skilled and educated data professionals from architects to implementers.
