Data integration, or data ingestion, is the process of connecting Actuals data from our clients’ systems into the Kohort platform, so that it can be updated and validated automatically, to ensure our forecasts are always based on the latest available data.  During onboarding our data ingestion team will guide our clients to format their data according to our spec and bring it into our system either through file drops in Amazon S3, or by pulling it directly from their own BigQuery warehouse.
