There’s only thing stopping you from satisfying your sweet tooth: baking that next batch of delicious brownies. You’ve got all the ingredients in front of you. One problem though: you don’t have any bowls to mix them in.

From the sugar to the baking soda, there’s not much use for each part of the recipe if you’re can’t to put them all together. Instead, they’re left sitting idle in the pantry, gathering dust as the “best before” date passes by.

Data is not much different. If you have data but can’t find it, access it, make use of it in the right tools or projects, or share the results of your work with others in your business, it’ll sit idle in large data warehouses, destined for the sole purpose of perpetual storage.

Use the data you already have

Every business struggles with silos of various sorts. Data silos are one of the most common and challenging to address. Your team has likely accumulated data of various formats across a whole host of different sources, and it’s likely managed by different teams, too.

Siphoning this data into silos is detrimental to uncovering its full potential, and yet this pattern continues: Marketing stores their data separately from Product, and so on.

Streamline these fragmented data demands with super-connectors. These special integrations connect you with hundreds of established platforms you already know and love, whether it’s your customer data in Salesforce or your projects in GitHub. It’s quick and easy to centralize this information on data.world.

Bring your hidden data to life

We often rely on highly-customized toolchains made up of single-purpose tools that aren’t meant to support the full scope of data work. Bringing these tools together in a data catalog creates a network effect that continuously increases your data’s value, as each new dataset increases the value of every other dataset.

It’s easy to integrate your unique combination of tools to tap into more of your team’s collective brainpower to achieve anything with data. See the full suite of super-connectors you can use right now with your datasets and projects.
