Your data analyst in Washington D.C. often begins each project with organizing data. Organizing your data makes it very easy to gather relevant information from your data. In an organization there is often multiple sources of data that need to be brought together to provide a complete view of your processes. 

The process of combining data from multiple sources into a single repository is referred to as data integration. For example an organization that sells products online needs to organize data on sales, store inventory, items returned by customers, orders placed from suppliers, and revenue for each product. Through data integration all of this data is combined and segmented to provide valuable insights.
