Data Integration

Data Integration

Data Integration is the process by which systems access and share information and records. Our team can help clients evaluate their data needs, find appropriate integration options, and build out the integrations between systems. From a list of data requirements, or vendor documentation, we can assist you in locating the appropriate data source and guide you through the multiple integration sources, integration styles, and privacy and security requirements, at the University of Alberta. To discover how we can help with your specific data needs, contact the Staff Service Centre.

When should I engage Application Development on my project?
If you are thinking about purchasing external services, software or tools to assist you on a project that require access to campus data sources, we highly recommend reaching out to our team at the onset of the project in order to prevent potential issues with data integration. Connecting with us prior to making a purchase can possibly lead to cost and time savings, and place you on the right path to discovering the data you need. Contact us to learn more about how we can act as your data ambassadors.
What information do you need to start a data integration project?
The first step is to send us the vendor documentation, or a list of your requirements so we can review and familiarize ourselves with the outlined requirements before we meet.
What kind of data can you provide?
There are a large number of data integration options available at the University of Alberta, and new options become available regularly. During the consultation process, we will work with you or your vendor to determine the type of data you will need to best execute your project.
What kind of timelines can I expect when working with Application Development?
Timelines are dependent on the type of work that is involved in your project. It is always best to engage our team sooner rather than later. Contact us now to get started.
