Data Integrations

BYU has adopted a data integration strategy with a foundational layer of Business Data Pipelines (BDP) as the source data for application integrations. Utilizing the BDP ensures that changing technology over time does not impact your integration. As a user, technology can be changed in the background without any action required on your part, making future scaling of your work seamless and scalable with future growth.

Searching Alation (BYU’s Data Catalog) can help you discover what data is available for your integrations. This tool allows you to identify the data sources you need for your specific integration projects.

Our experts are here to guide you in integrating data according to BYU standards efficiently. If third-party integration is required for data access, we will work with you to find the best solution.

We utilize Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) to implement data integration. This powerful ETL tool (Extract, Transform, Load) extracts data from various sources (such as BDP, databases, or source files), transforms it into the desired format, and loads it into a new data source. This process ensures seamless integration between different data sources.
