data mapping

Data mapping is the process of matching and connecting data from one system or format to another, ensuring that information is transferred accurately and understood correctly. It defines how fields or data points in one dataset correspond to those in another, such as linking a customer’s name in one database to the same name in a different system. This process is essential for integrating systems, migrating data, or transforming data for analysis, helping to maintain data consistency and integrity across different platforms or applications.
