Data Synchronization Across the Enterprise

The growth of popularity in SaaS, mobile, and social application adoption has created a highly fragmented enterprise. Existing on-premises systems and databases house critical data that needs to communicate with SaaS applications and services beyond the firewall. Seamless connectivity is needed in order to ensure efficient functionality, communication, and data synchronization across the enterprise.

 

Data synchronization is the process of ensuring the consistent flow of information from one endpoint to another, all the while ensuring data accuracy. It also maintains data consistency across disparate systems.  It can be a permanent process, occurring regularly between operational systems, or a temporary process, such as a one-time data migration. Organizations have numerous applications, services, and systems they employ to support their day-to-day business processes. To ensure all the components maintain the same information throughout, data synchronization is essential.

Challenges With Data Synchronization

Data synchronization presents numerous challenges for organizations looking to create seamless connectivity. Enterprises tend to be heterogeneous environments.  They are composed of many different systems, each with their own data structures and requirements. This disparate structure creates complications as each endpoint calls for its own complex data mappings, formatting, calculations, and aggregations. Additionally, real-time data synchronization, a growing trend in SaaS integration, is difficult to implement with large volumes of data.

Data Synchronization Solutions

Organizations have built custom integration solutions to create connectivity throughout the enterprise in order to enable seamless data synchronization. This method, although plausible for businesses with only a couple of integrations, is quite difficult to manage and maintain for businesses with many integration needs. Skilled developers must implement custom code into each application, and over time. And as the number of connections grows, so does the complexity of the structure. This makes it incredibly difficult to manage a large number of connections, and even more difficult to modify them when updates or changes arise.
