Informatica to integrate with Exterro Fusion

REDWOOD CITY, USA: Informatica Corp. and Exterro announced that they are collaborating to integrate Informatica Data Archive with Exterro Fusion to empower customers to substantially reduce the costs, time and risks associated with compliance and e-discovery.

The integration will provide organizations with a single point of control for orchestrating legal and preservation holds on data stored across Informatica Data Archive and a range of other sources. Informatica Data Archive's Data Vault is the first structured data repository to be supported by Exterro.

Optimized for easy business access to archived data, Informatica Data Archive provides robust archiving support for all types of enterprise application data. Exterro Fusion supports the end-to-end e-discovery cycle while simplifying control, visibility and defensibility.

Together, Informatica Data Archive and Exterro Fusion will enable customers to:

Save e-discovery and compliance time - Organizations will be able to leverage a single place for searching across a broad range of structured and unstructured data stores for relevant information, and a single tool for automating, monitoring and reporting on data preservation actions.

Minimize costs - The cost of managing preservation orders will be significantly lowered through automation, costly over-preservation is avoided, and the need to incur collect-to-preserve costs is eliminated.

Reduce risk - Organizations will be able to reduce reliance on custodian self-collection, automate the suspension and reinstatement of disposition policies, and leverage in-place data preservation to avoid guesswork and reduce risk.

"The integration of Exterro Fusion and Informatica Data Archive combines two best-of-category solutions to streamline the process of complying with preservation requests," said Julie Lockner, VP of product marketing, ILM, Informatica. "Customers will be able to more fully leverage their investments in data archiving and e-discovery without the need to develop their own custom integration solution."

"Corporate legal departments are requiring greater visibility into the data stored throughout the organization, as well as the preservation policies governing that data, both structured and unstructured," said Ted Gary, senior product marketing manager, Exterro. "The Informatica-Exterro integration will enable clients to defensibly and proactively demonstrate full compliance with e-discovery preservation obligations."
