Connecting to 84 More Data Sources
Data architects and data scientists, as well as DBAs and governance teams, may need to use or migrate data in legacy file formats and databases. Additionally, the ability to mash-up those sources with newer file and database repositories is important in data integration (ETL) and analytic projects, as well as in data profiling for data loss prevention and privacy law compliance.
