Data mining has gained high significance in the recent years owing to the need for management of large volumes of data available at organizations. Often this raw data is unstructured and available at different locations. In order to extract meaningful and usable information, data from such sources need to be integrated synchronously on a common platform before it can be used for extracting meaningful information. This is a challenge as multiple sources may use different authentication mechanisms, and sharing of credentials may not be desirable. In this paper, we propose a synchronization software tool which addresses this issue. Our tool performs data synchronization from multiple sources without the need of sharing database credentials. We discuss the design, development and deployment of this application, and illustrate how the tool can be beneficial for organizations looking at using data mining tools on their data repositories for various applications.
