• Abstract:
  When carefully planned and properly applied, data integration can bring substantial benefits to any transportation agency. This primer provides information to assist agencies in undertaking a data integration initiative that will support their business processes, including an Asset management decision-making framework. However, there are a variety of hurdles that can potentially cause a data integration effort to fail. Recognizing these hurdles and knowing how to deal with them will help minimize the risk of failure. Managing the cost and level of effort associated with data integration calls for considerable knowledge and foresight in the planning and analysis stages of the project. Database users are key players during all of the stages. Data integration is a continuous and evolving process that has to respond to the changing needs, business processes, and operating environments of the agency.
