Borthen J. Building Data Integration Solutions...Enhanced Decision Making 2026

Textbook in PDF format Are you struggling to manage and make sense of the vast streams of data flowing into your organization? In today's data-driven world, the ability to effectively unify and organize disparate data sources is not just an advantage—it's a necessity. The challenge lies in navigating the complexities of data diversity, volume, and regulatory demands, which can overwhelm even the most seasoned data professionals. In this essential book, Jay Borthen offers a comprehensive guide to understanding the art of data integration. This book dives deep into the processes and strategies necessary for creating effective data pipelines that ensure consistency, accuracy, and accessibility of your data. Whether you're a novice looking to understand the basics or an experienced professional aiming to refine your skills, Borthen's insights and practical advice, grounded in real-world case studies, will empower you to transform your organization's data handling capabilities. This book presents a pragmatic, hands-on approach to data integration by first baselining the reader’s knowledge with important terminology and concepts and eventually walking through the building of a plausible, real-life data integration solution, step by step. For the hands-on parts in the later chapters of the book, familiarity with Linux, Python, Structured Query Language (SQL), and Amazon Web Services (AWS) would be beneficial, but I’ll attempt to explain what takes place at each step in simple terms. It should be noted that containerization is not utilized in the hands-on sections of this book. However, it may be prudent for the practitioner to use containers (e.g., Docker) and perhaps even a distributed container management tool like Kubernetes for large, enterprise data integration initiatives. Also, while the book focuses on aspects directly related to data integration, because of inherent complexity within data engineering and data management, topic tangents and parallel subject matter discussions are inevitable. There are also many concepts included in the book that live within the blurred lines between data engineering and software development. Supplemental material (code examples, exercises, etc.) is available for download at GitHub.
