Getting data into GoodData from multiple applications

@Tom Harris one thing you may want to consider is scope vs. cost of your project and how tied to a specific vendor you want to be.For example, let’s say you decide to go with ProviderA for your data ingestion of all your various sources.   You setup a data pipeline to perform timed data harvests from each source and you’ve got it configured to transform the data so you can perform analytics and dashboarding duties.2-3 years down the line, you’ve learned a lot and you realize ProviderA wasn’t really the right fit for your evolving needs.  Now you need to find someone else.   Because ProviderA also did all the data ingestion and transformation, you’re going to have to spend a lot of time redoing that data pipeline.  Depending on how well that project was documented and managed, you may have to spend the same amount of time (again) understanding how you need to transform the data from those various sources so it can work together.Alternatively, you could consider managing the data pipelin
