Curation & Fusion

While adding any data sources is a huge benefit, it is also necessary to perform cleansing and ongoing data hygiene. Visually associating and combining data sources helps to align relationships within internal and external data. It is not necessary to hire a developer or contact your vendor to perform these tasks.
