Data Integration Channel

Channel Sponsored by

Data integration allows organizations to access all their fragmented data, create an accurate and consistent view of their information assets, and leverage those assets to drive business decisions and operations.

While application integration focuses on transaction management and process integration, data integration resolves the complex issues that arise from data fragmentation - including poor data quality, inconsistencies in the structure and meaning of data and inadequate data governance.

Organizations are using data integration in many different ways. They are implementing real-time reporting and analysis to optimize minute-by-minute operational and strategic, decisions. They are using data integration to migrate data into new applications or implement master data management. They are using data integration to synchronize data across operational processes and systems, and to create flexible, reusable data services.

Organizations should look to data integration technologies that can be used across a broad range of initiatives, including data migration, data consolidation, data synchronization, data warehousing and the establishment of data hubs and data services.

To accomplish this, many organizations are adopting a common, enterprise approach - one that leverages a unified platform, is built on shared services and supports integration competency centers.

Informatica provides a single, unified platform for data integration. The Informatica platform connects all enterprise data, from virtually any business system, in any format, and provides a consistent way of accessing, profiling, cleansing, integrating and delivering that data throughout the enterprise to service multiple IT initiatives. The Informatica platform helps organizations take full advantage of their data to support strategic business goals.
