New Informatica Platform To Enable The Data-Driven Enterprise

Informatica, a provider of data integration software, today announced Informatica 9, a data integration platform designed to enable the data-driven enterprise. Informatica 9 is a unified and open data integration platform. It combines products in six categories: enterprise data integration, data quality, B2B data exchange, application information lifecycle management, complex event processing and cloud computing data integration. Informatica 9 is designed to be deployed either on-premise or in the Internet cloud.

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

Informatica 9 helps organisations overcome these three challenges through business-IT collaboration, pervasive data quality and SOA-based data services. Business-IT collaboration ensures that fit-for-purpose systems deliver business-relevant data. Pervasive data quality assures that all stakeholders can trust data for their business purposes. And, open, SOA-based data services enable even more types of operational data integration projects to deliver timely data in an appropriate format.

Availability

Informatica 9 will be generally available in India in Q4 2009.
