Data import and synchronization

Simplified, precise IS management

Data import and synchronization are essential Carto-SI functions. They enable you to centralize, update and enrich your information, while guaranteeing its consistency and accuracy. Whether you have existing inventories in Excel format or wish to connect your internal tools to Carto-SI, these functions simplify and optimize the management of your information system (IS).

Simple, adaptable import of your existing data

Carto-SI data import is designed to adapt to your internal processes and existing files. With support for standard formats such as Excel (XLS, XLSX) and CSV, you can quickly import application, server or infrastructure inventories. This process is accompanied by intuitive column mapping, ensuring that each source data item finds its place in the appropriate fields.

You can also enrich your mappings with custom fields, enabling you to add relevant information directly from your source files. These capabilities make importing a smooth operation, adapted to the specific needs of each organization.

Here are the main advantages of this feature:

• Support for standard formats (Excel, CSV).
• Intuitive column mapping for fast, accurate integration.
• Custom fields can be added to enrich your data.

Automated synchronization for up-to-date cartography

Once your data has been integrated, regular synchronization ensures that your cartography is always up to date. Thanks to REST APIs, Carto-SI connects your internal tools or third-party repositories, enabling automatic, real-time updates. In this way, developments such as the addition of new applications or configuration changes are immediately reflected in Carto-SI and/or your system (depending on the direction of synchronization).

This process limits tedious manual tasks and the associated errors, while ensuring a consistently reliable database. You gain in efficiency while reinforcing the quality of your information systems management.

Highlights of automated synchronization :

• Automatic data updates via API REST.
• Automated management reduces errors.
• Always accurate and reliable information.

A single tool to centralize your information

Centralizing your data is a priority for efficient management of complex systems. With Carto-SI, you eliminate information silos and duplication, providing a clear, consolidated view of your IS. This approach improves collaboration between teams, facilitates decision-making and ensures that everyone involved is working with up-to-date information.

By integrating these import and synchronization functions, Carto-SI enables you to transform your scattered data into a centralized strategic tool.

The overall benefits of this centralization include :

• A consolidated view of data in a single tool.
• Reduce duplication and information silos.
• Better coordination between teams.

A practical example of integration and synchronization

To better illustrate these features, let’s take the example of an IT department with an exhaustive inventory in an Excel file. This file lists servers, applications and associated contacts. Thanks to the import function, this data is quickly integrated into Carto-SI, with mapping adjusted to ensure that each field is correctly filled in.

Subsequently, a REST API is set up to automatically synchronize changes to this inventory with Carto-SI. When new servers are added or software versions are updated, the mapping is immediately updated, without manual intervention. This process not only ensures data accuracy, but also significantly reduces the effort required to keep information up to date.

This case study highlights the following advantages:

• Fast, accurate importing for immediate learning.
• Real-time synchronization, guaranteeing an always up-to-date database.
• Optimized, error-free management of modifications and additions to the IS.

Conclusion: reliable data to boost your performance

Thanks to its import and synchronization functions, Carto-SI offers modern, high-performance management of your IS data. By integrating your information into a single tool, automating its updating and consolidating it with precision, Carto-SI transforms your data into a strategic asset.

This optimized management guarantees not only greater efficiency, but also a clear and precise view of your systems, enabling informed decisions and saving your teams valuable time.
