14. SO... how does
data integration
actually WORK?

15. Add heading
APIs!

16. Application Programming
Interfaces (APIs) allow data to be
shared between multiple
software. APIs are the backbone
to any data integration.

17. How do you make sure that
data is properly matched
between your software?

18. FIELD MAPPING
Field mapping defines
the relationship of
data fields between
different software

20. now, what data
do you want to
sync between
your software?

21. Do you want all of your existing data to be synced
between your connected software? This will create a
“mirror” of your data in the various software that
you’re integrating.
- or -
Would you rather start syncing data on a “go
forward” basis? This means that no old data will be
synced. Only new and edited data will be synced
after you start your integration.

in fact, you can do

23. 'Butwhatifmydatagetsscrewedup?'

24. First of all, that's a totally valid concern
However, remember, most data integration platforms on
the market today will, by default, only sync your data on
an “ongoing” basis, meaning that the platform is not
going to go back and overwrite data in your system/s.
As your data changes, it’s the data integration software’s
job to keep your data in sync, so certain data may get
overwritten in any system. The key is to make sure that
the right fields are being overwritten in priority order.

25. 'WhataboutOngoingMaintenanceandImprovements?'

26. With Bedrock Data, thanks to clean field mapping, you only
need to make change and your data is automatically
synchronized across the board.
Because of the instant synchronization, should the systems you
normally use go through maintenance or improvements, the
amount of work on your end is very minimal. (to read more
