Example with data warehouse

The process must take place among the organization's primary transaction systems before data arrives at the data warehouse.
It is rarely complete, unless the organization has a comprehensive and centralized master data management(MDM) system.

Data integration usually takes the form of conforming dimensions and facts in the data warehouse. This means establishing common dimensional attributes across separated databases. Conforming facts is making agreement on common business metrics such as key performance indicators (KPIs) across separated databases, so these numbers can be compared mathematically.
