An '''edge data integration''' is an implementation of [[data integration]] technology undertaken in an ad hoc or tactical fashion. This is also sometimes referred to as point-to-point integration because it connects two types of data directly to serve a narrow purpose. Many edge integrations, and actually the vast majority of all data integration, involvesinvolve hand-coded scripts. Some may take the form of [[EnterpriseBusiness mashupsMashups]] (web application hybrids), [[Rich Internet application]]s, or other browser-based models that take advantage of [[Web 2.0]] technologies to combine data in a Web browser.

Examples of edge data integration projects might be:

* extracting a list of customers from a host [[Sales Force Automation]] application and writing the results to an [[Microsoft Excel|Excel]] spreadsheet

* creating a script-driven framework for managing [[RSS]] feeds

* combining data from a weather Web site, a shipping company's Web site, and a company's internal logistics database to track shipments and estimated arrival times of packages
