The Intarsia database is optimized for banking data types and sources and it draws information from multiple silos across an institution's environment into a centralized datamart.

Intarsia starts the automated data gathering process with the core processing system (such as Fiserv, COCC, OSI, Eastpoint, Alltel, Jack Henry, Sanchez and many others) where a pre-built connection extracts relevant customer and branch information. Other pre-built connections include most of the popular industry banking, credit card and investment systems like FDR, PrimeVest, and SunGard.

Data can also be uploaded from other internal databases (JDBC, ODBC, SQL, or standard delimited files) or brought in from outside sources like commercial data providers who sell demographic and psychographic data.
