Data fabric
An approach for connecting and managing data across different systems so it can be accessed consistently
What's it for?
Makes data spread across many systems easier to find, access and manage as one joined-up whole.
For example…
Staff search one portal and reach customer info whether it sits in CRM, warehouse, or files.
A data fabric lets analysts discover and access governed customer data across several databases without first knowing which physical system holds each table
Think of it like…
Well-signed campus with paths linking buildings, so you are not lost between separate blocks
