Data integration and virtualization — Evolve phase

Data Integration & Virtualization

A unified data layer, without bottlenecks and without replicating everything

When data lives in different systems, keeping it aligned through copies and fragile integrations becomes an ongoing cost — and a source of errors. We organize your data without bottlenecks using ETL/ELT, real-time streaming, and Change Data Capture (CDC). With data virtualization, we expose a unified layer without physically replicating the data.

At a glance

The service in brief

Service
Data integration and virtualization: ETL/ELT, streaming, CDC, and data virtualization.
When you need it
Data is spread across heterogeneous sources, and keeping it aligned through copies and fragile integrations costs too much.
R.O.C.E. phase
Evolve: the fourth phase of the Miriade R.O.C.E. methodology (Recover · Optimize · Control · Evolve).
Scope
Heterogeneous data sources, ETL/ELT pipelines, real-time flows, Change Data Capture, and virtual layers.
Approach
Integrate without bottlenecks and unify without physically replicating data.
Distinct from
The assessment/rationalization (the diagnosis) and platform modernization (Data Platform Modernization).
When you need it

When data sources don't talk to each other

The service fits when data is spread across different systems and you need a reliable way — often in real time — to integrate it and make it accessible from a single point.

Data spread across heterogeneous systems and sources.
Too many copies and syncs to keep aligned.
Fragile integrations that keep breaking.
You need real-time data, not just nightly batches.
A single layer to run BI, analytics, and AI on, without moving everything.
Legacy systems that must coexist with new technologies.
Bottlenecks and slowdowns in integration flows.
What it includes

The integration toolkit

ETL/ELT

Design and optimization of extract, transform, and load flows to integrate data reliably and without bottlenecks.

Real-time streaming

Real-time data flows that feed analytics and processes that cannot wait for the nightly batch.

Change Data Capture (CDC)

We propagate only the changes made at the source, reducing load and latency and keeping systems aligned.

Data Virtualization

We expose a unified data layer over heterogeneous sources without physically replicating them: data is accessed where it lives.

The key idea

Unify without replicating

With data virtualization, you expose a unified layer without physically copying the data.

Fewer copies mean less storage, fewer inconsistencies, and fewer integrations to maintain. Data stays where it is but becomes accessible from a single point, consistent and governed — the ideal foundation for BI, analytics, and AI.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between integration and virtualization?

Integration moves and transforms data (ETL/ELT, streaming, CDC). Virtualization exposes a unified layer without copying it. The two are often combined.

Do I need to replicate data in a single place?

Not with data virtualization: data is accessed where it lives, reducing storage, costs, and inconsistencies. Where needed, ETL/ELT and streaming remain available.

Does it work in real time or only in batch?

Both: streaming and CDC for real time, ETL/ELT for batch flows. We choose based on the use case.

How is it different from Data & Pipeline Acceleration?

That service accelerates an existing pipeline to reduce its run time. This one designs the integration and the unified layer over heterogeneous sources.

Can it make legacy systems and new technologies coexist?

Yes. It is one of the typical scenarios, with governed, reliable flows between old and new.

Do I need an assessment first?

It helps. The Data Ecosystem Assessment rationalizes the ecosystem, so integration and virtualization start from an orderly foundation.

Want a single point of access to your data?

Tell us which sources you need to integrate and on what timelines. With ETL/ELT, streaming, CDC, and data virtualization, we build a unified, consistent layer ready for BI, analytics, and AI.
