Cloud integration

What is cloud integration?

Best practices for cloud integration include:

• Assessing integration needs: Before initiating an integration project, the organization's needs and goals must be assessed and defined. Understanding which systems, apps, and data sources need to be integrated and why it helps establish a business-aligned integration plan. To ensure sustainability and adaptability, integration solutions should be assessed for current and future demands, scalability, money, and resources.
• Data governance and compliance: Integrating systems requires robust data governance policies to manage data access, security, and compliance. Define data ownership, establish access restrictions, and determine usage, storage, and sharing rules. Integrations that comply with GDPR or HIPAA decrease risk and protect data, especially when it flows across environments and nations.
• Data quality: Poor data can cause mistakes, inconsistencies, and incorrect analytics, making data quality essential for integration. Integrating data cleaning, validation, and standardization into workflows ensures accuracy, completeness, and consistency across systems. Continuous data monitoring and quality checks ensure integrated systems work properly and provide trustworthy insights.

Following these best practices creates a resilient, secure, and successful cloud integration strategy that optimizes linked system value and operational efficiency.
