The Problem: An Expensive Iceberg 🔗
Integration Project Failure Rate
The stark reality: a vast majority of data integration projects fail to deliver, despite promises of high ROI.

Gartner estimates this as the average annual financial drain on companies due to poor quality, often siloed, data.
Wasted Professional Time
IDC research suggests data professionals waste nearly a third of their week managing quality issues from silos.

This guide provides a strategic framework for assessing the problem and implementing effective, evidence-based solutions.
