Enterprise Data Integration

Enterprise Data Integration Across Business Applications

Keep two or more live applications synchronized on an ongoing basis — scheduled, incremental, or event-driven, with monitoring built in.

Ongoing Synchronization, Not a One-Time Move

A migration moves data once (or across a handful of cutover cycles) and ends. Integration keeps two or more live applications synchronized on an ongoing basis — new hires flowing from HCM to payroll, course completions flowing from an LMS to HR, or CRM opportunities flowing into ERP order management.

Examples: Cornerstone to Oracle Learning, Oracle HCM to SAP ECP during a parallel-run period, Workday to a downstream payroll provider, SuccessFactors to ADP, or CRM-to-ERP synchronization.

What's In Scope

Scheduled integration
Incremental (delta) integration
API-based integration
SFTP and file-based integration
Identifier cross-references between systems
Monitoring and alerting
Replay prevention
Error handling and retry
Reconciliation between systems
Security and access control
Data freshness tracking
Ongoing operational support

How Ongoing Integration Differs From Migration

Integration interfaces run on a schedule (or are triggered by events) indefinitely, not just through a cutover window. That changes the engineering emphasis: idempotency (the same record processed twice shouldn't create a duplicate), replay prevention, monitoring for silent failures, and identifier cross-reference tables that stay valid over years, not just during a project. DataLens's operational monitoring — pipeline status, queue depth, throughput, failed jobs, data freshness — is built for exactly this ongoing-operation pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a migration?+

A migration moves data once (or across a few cutover cycles) and ends. Integration keeps applications synchronized indefinitely on a schedule or event trigger. If you need a one-time move, see Cross-Platform Migration or Oracle Fusion Migration instead.

What happens if an integration run fails partway through?+

Failed and retried records are tracked with replay prevention, so a retry doesn't create duplicate records in the target. Failed jobs and their status are visible through operational monitoring.

Can integration run alongside a migration project?+

Yes — a common pattern is a parallel-run period where two systems are kept synchronized (for example old and new payroll) before fully cutting over, which is exactly the ongoing-integration pattern this solution covers.

Does this include monitoring and alerting?+

Yes. Pipeline status, queue depth, throughput, failed jobs and data freshness are tracked through DataLens's operational monitoring.
