Integrating Data in the Information System, an Open Source Approach

Today, many organizations are deploying new systems - relational database management systems (RDBMS), business applications such as customer realtionship management or enterprise resource planning, data warehouses, etc. Any new technology deployment in an enterprise information system requires the newly-deployed system to interoperate, in one form or another, with a number of other applications or databases, to guarantee the consistency of data in the overall information system. This White Paper describes a number of real-life interoperability scenarios and explains how an Open Source approach helps solving the interoperability challenge.
