Data transformation is a process of converting data from one format to another. Depending on the infrastructure, and data volume the process of transforming your data may require a team of experts and substantial infrastructure costs. Data transformation is not a single process, it includes numerous stages of activities such as convert data types, and data normalization. This cleanses data by removing nulls or duplicate data, performs aggregations, and set transformation rules.

The organization transforms their data for numerous reasons. For example, to make it compatible with other data, to upgrade the system, to move to other systems, or to combine two databases.

While performing the data transformation an organization can face many challenges. However, only Link can address these challenges effectively.

A modernized HCL tool, the HCL Link helps organizations to solve multifaceted data integration problems. Link provides a unified solution for data transformation and integration.
