We are setting up at the baseball diamond and we are going to swing. Usually when you swing you hit a home run or get stuck. However, in our case either we are going to hit for home run or singles,” says Piyush Gupta, co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Exeros Software that is into the data integration space.

Data integration in itself is not a difficult job for any company but what makes it painful is the time and money consumption that often takes months if not days or weeks to connect the data lying within different sources. Most companies either end up shelling a lot of money to integrate data, which is often done manually because machines wouldn’t know what to select and companies hire expensive consultants.

How would it be if machines could do that? Enter Exeros which precisely does that. Not only has the company pioneered the data integration but has made it simpler and affordable.

Software products that exist today to move, profile and cleanse data, don’t address the most time consuming aspect of data integration—discovery and debugging of source-to-target maps and transformation logic. The process of source-to-target data mapping is still manual and requires months of human involvement to discover data relationships, derive transformation logic and maintain source-to-target maps. Exeros’ DataMapper automates this manual process using the actual source and target data in self-verifying processes.

Data mapping is a critical job that often requires human intervention to discover the relationship between divided sets of data; and to help transform and maintain the source to reach the target. DataMapper automates the entire process by reducing time, cost and error. It automatically discovers, documents and validates up to 80 percent of the two sets of data.
