Verknüpfung verteilter Daten

English translation: linking distributed data

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Verknüpfung verteilter Daten
English translation:linking distributed data
Entered by: Steffen Walter

Tech/Engineering - Computers (general) / data processing
German term or phrase: Verknüpfung verteilter Daten
This phrase appears on the website of a company that specializes in IT solutions (esp. in the financial sector).
Under the heading "DV-Schwerpunkte" it lists "Verknüpfung verteilter Daten" as one of the areas of experience that their employees have.

I understand the individual words, but I'm not sure how to translate them in this context & combination.
Can someone help?

Thank you!

Linking/Integration of distributed data
Explanation:
I think you can afford to stay fairly literal with either "linking" or "integration" of the distributed data.
It just means they have data at all kinds of different locations or in different systems and their employees are good at setting up a network that makes it possible to view all of it in one place (usually via a single software application or interface).
Hope that makes sense to you.

compiling distributed data


Explanation:
for Verknüpfung ´compilation´ sounds better than any in a text related to computers.
