Data Integration

In this chapter, we specify the business requirements and propose the solution concept for data integration. For the side-by-side artificial intelligence approach, data integration is required because application data must be extracted from the ERP system into the AI technology platform for model training but also batch inference. While the data integration for model training is unidirectional, for batch inference, the results must be transferred back to the ERP system. Initial load but also delta handling and packing must be resolved for the data replication as ERP systems always process mass data.
