# Implication of using the Standard Data Ingestion API

In addition to the [benefits](/data-ingestion-api/standard/benefits) of using the Standard Data Ingestion API, you should also consider the following implications:

* **An increased dependency on IT departments**
  * To successfully ingest data via this method, IT departments must provide the source system data via ETL tools or cloud data lakes.
  * As part of an expansion into a new process domain, it most likely requires involvement of the IT department again to add the additional data.
* **Unable to take advantage of native data integration capabilities:**
  * Capabilities provided by Celonis extractors such as defining extraction filters, removing columns, and changing data types are not provided and therefore must be handled by users.
  * Scheduling of data ingestion must also be handled by users and you may need to rely on such capabilities provided by your source systems (such as Snowflake, Databricks, etc.).
