Cloud Data Warehouse and Data Lakes
- Automate cloud mass ingestion for files, databases (including change data capture), and streaming with intelligent schema drift functionality.
- Reuse existing workloads in the cloud with minimal disruption, thanks to detailed lineage and impact analysis, and prioritise datasets and workloads for migration through a comprehensive understanding of the data landscape.
- Ensure trustworthy data in cloud data warehouse and data lake solutions through cloud data quality and metadata management together with cloud data integration and cloud application integration on a modern, microservices-based, cloud-native platform with serverless computing.
- Accelerate AI and machine learning projects with improved data visibility for agile data prep, analysis, and model development.
- Automate end-to-end data management with AI/machine learning-powered automation to build and tune data integration jobs and detect anomalies.
- Operationalize data pipelines and machine learning in the cloud with DataOps and MLOps for continuous integration (CI) and continuous deployment (CD).
- Save costs and improve performance of running data management workloads using intelligent pushdown processing with a serverless run time engine.
Data Governance & Privacy
- Quickly “shop” for and access enterprise data using a data marketplace digital storefront, with order management and governed provisioning capabilities to ensure timely approval and delivery of data.
- Democratise data by collaboratively defining data quality policies and rules. Discover data and automatically execute where rules should be applied, ensuring trusted data is protected and delivered to data consumers and applications.
- Accelerate data governance projects with new automated capabilities to infer data quality measurement, using natural language processing (NLP) to automatically build Informatica Data Quality rules from business rule definitions.
- Improve compliance transparency with the ability to track protection status, access, proliferation, and risk exposure of sensitive data, leveraging scenario-based planning to apply appropriate protections and detect and mitigate anomalous data access.
- Automate building of data subject registry by correlating relationships between individual subjects’ personal data across structured and unstructured sources to facilitate data subject rights and other privacy compliance activities.
- Automate data governance activities with intelligent data discovery, classification, and documentation of key data elements. Scale business context with glossary linkage physical datasets.
- Automate change notifications to enable proactive management of changes based on impact derived from end-to-end lineage.
Business 360
- Accelerate and strengthen digital commerce, minimize supply chain risk, increase customer loyalty, and improve finance and operational processes with greater data visibility across customers, suppliers, products, and financials.
- Ensure all master data is clean, complete, and consistent to get an end-to-end 360-degree view across the entire business and understand the relationships between master data domains and the business context.
- Quickly adapt to changing business conditions by leveraging a shared foundation of consistent and trusted master data and relationships across the enterprise for a complete view into business.
- Connect master data to transaction and interaction data to fuel analytics and data science initiatives to answer complex questions and uncover hidden insights.
- Reduce IT workloads while making it easier to find, manage, and curate data to build a 360-degree view of all business-critical data, with intelligent file structure discovery that automates domain mapping recommendations.
- Automate the creation of a complete, trusted, and actionable view of all master data by leveraging industry-leading contextual matching technology powered by AI and machine learning.
- Visualise relationships, taxonomies, and hierarchies at scale using a graph technology to gain rich and insightful views for faster, more accurate decision making.
- Increase operational efficiency by replacing manual processes such as data onboarding, synchronisation, and reporting through intelligence and automation.
