Advantages of unification

Simplifying integration

• Easily integrate data from different sources.
• Data can be easily combined.

Simplifying data analysis

• Data can be easily analyzed because it has a single format and can be used with single analysis tools within the system.
• Unification allows for the use of a single system for creating reports, monitoring data, and auditing users.

Improving efficiency

• Simplifying data processing and storage processes.
• A generalized data storage structure allows for the use of single processing tools, including simplifying ETL processes (Extract, Transform, Load).

Consistency

• Ensuring that data has the same meaning and interpretation across all systems.
• Data in the central repository uses the same units of measurement, allowing for data analysis within single units of measurement.
• All timestamps are presented and stored in UTC format, allowing users in different time zones to work in a single time space.
