What is data integration tools?

Data integration tools are software solutions that facilitate the process of combining data from various sources into a unified view. These tools are commonly used to extract, transform, and load (ETL) data from disparate systems (e.g., databases, applications, cloud services) into a central repository, such as a data warehouse or data lake. They often include features for data cleansing, data mapping, and data governance, ensuring data quality and consistency across the organization. Common use cases include building data warehouses for business intelligence, migrating data to the cloud, and synchronizing data between applications.
