Informatica 9 data integration platform launched

MUMBAI, INDIA: Informatica Corporation announced Informatica 9 to enable the data-driven enterprise. Informatica 9 is an unified and open data integration platform and combines products in six categories: enterprise data integration, data quality, B2B data exchange, application information life cycle management, complex event processing and cloud computing data integration. Informatica 9 is designed to be deployed on-premise or in the Internet cloud.

In today’s information economy, data is absolutely critical for any business survival or business revival strategy. Relevant, trustworthy and timely data is the difference between the success and failure of top business imperatives. Yet, becoming a data-driven enterprise has remained an elusive goal for many organizations.

In order to become data-driven enterprises, Indian organizations face three daunting challenges: firstly, business users often cannot rely on IT alone for the most business-relevant information; secondly, they frequently do not regard the data to be trustworthy for their purposes; and thirdly they do not have timely access to the data in the appropriate form. Until now, these formidable challenges have often compromised the value of IT and impeded the most business-critical initiatives.

“Informatica 9 is a comprehensive infrastructure platform with products across six different technology categories that are unified to reduce IT costs and open to leverage data on-premise and in the internet cloud,” said Sid Lasley, Director, Informatica Alliances Asia Pacific. “India is a key market for us and we see a lot of potential for growth within this geography. With Informatica 9, our Indian customers can gain competitive advantage with the most relevant, trustworthy and timely data as mandated by their top business imperatives,” he added.

“Customers today are looking to gain a competitive advantage by understanding how they can truly transform their business by using data effectively across their organization,” said Mark Smith, CEO and executive VP—Research, Ventana Research.

“With the release of Informatica 9, the company is delivering a solution that is a breakthrough in how organizations can collaboratively work together across business and IT and use data as a core asset. Informatica is bridging these two organizations with collaborative data integration capabilities that reduce the time and cost to deliver data for a range of business needs,” he concluded.
