What is Batch Integration?

Batch integration is a data integration approach where data is transferred between systems in batches, typically scheduled at regular intervals (e.g., nightly, weekly). It's commonly used to move large volumes of data when real-time integration isn't required or feasible. This method is often more cost-effective and simpler to implement than real-time integration, but it involves a delay between data updates. Common use cases include transferring sales data from a point-of-sale system to a central database for reporting, or updating customer information across different departments.
