Excerpt from whitepaper
Code-based integration is point-to-point integration, like a string fixed between soup cans. Point-to-point integration allows simple data transfer in one direction with field-to-field mapping. Users can’t validate or correct data because they have no visibility into the data flow.
The outcome of code-based approaches? Multiple, parallel, opaque, inflexible integrations that hide and restrict data flow. While a vendor-supplied native integration is “free,” it doesn’t provide control.
"An IBM Study reports that knowledge workers spent 50 percent of their time hunting for data, finding and correcting errors, and searching for confirmatory sources for data they don’t trust. The same study estimates that decisions made from bad data cost the U.S. economy roughly $3.1 trillion dollars each year.”
