Integrating data silos with other systems is the most straightforward way to break them down. The most popular form of data integration is extract, transform and load (
ETL), which extracts data from source systems, consolidates it and loads it into a target system or application. Other
data integration techniques that can be used against silos include real-time integration, data virtualization and extract, load and transform, a variation on
ETL.
