Criterion #5: Integration and ecosystem compatibility
Your architecture doesn’t exist in a vacuum. It has to work with everything around it.
The challenge isn’t just collecting data from them — it’s making that data usable, connected, and consistent across the entire ecosystem.
A modern data architecture should integrate seamlessly with what you already have, while giving you the flexibility to evolve over time.
Ingest across environmentsCan you bring in data from all systems without heavy customization?
Correlate across toolsCan signals work together across domains?
Reduce integration overheadHow much effort goes into maintaining connectors?
