Proper sequence brings smooth integrations
When we talk about getting the well defined target as the first step in the data mapping process it is not because starting with source data is harder. And we don’t talk about sequence of project tasks because we are like little children who want to eat desert first. There are two major benefits that doing an integration project (and other projects) in the right order bring; Cost, and Quality.
Cost is the easiest to quantify. And it resonates with businesses today more than ever. Doing tasks out of order causes some tasks to be repeated. Some work to get in the way of other work and delay it or just make it take longer. Some solutions may be developed to problems that are solved making that work to go unused. And more.
Quality is always harder to quantify. And in a budget conscious business environment is often minimized. But we can point out that integration solution that are good quality cost less to maintain. And the accuracy, reliability and extendability of good quality integration solutions are investments in the health and longevity of the business.
