We will walk through a hands-on example of integrating Blackbaud data into a cloud-based data warehouse using Airbyte, Sky API, and BigQuery. Focusing on practical application, this demo will illustrate how to set up automated data extraction and ingestion, showcasing each step to configure these tools effectively. Attendees will learn not just the 'how' but also the 'why' behind each process, emphasizing the benefits for data governance and strategic data use. We'll detail how this integration framework facilitates better data management practices and supports a data strategy that relies on warehoused data for analysis and decision-making. Expect to leave this session with actionable knowledge on creating a secure, efficient, and governance-aligned data architecture that can be applied to your own data ecosystem.
