Integrating data

Data ingestion is the process that combines and harmonizes data from multiple sources into a unified, coherent format that is used for analytical, operational, and decision-making purposes. Data ingestion is foundational for the IBM® Sterling Intelligent Promising platform because it enables data connectivity, transformation, and integration across the enterprise that is critical for cloud and on-premises data sources. As part of this integration, specific data formats, data requirements, and data feed types are supported. You can integrate data into Sterling Intelligent Promising by using the file transfer adapter.
