Find the hidden data problems—wherever they are—that put your projects at risk. Pinpoint structural issues. Stop data quality problems from spreading. Get it right the first time.
Informatica Data Explorer Advanced Edition transforms the way the business and your IT organization think about data. With Informatica Data Explorer Advanced Edition, business analysts, data stewards, and IT developers can work together to profile all data, for all projects and all applications.
Informatica Data Explorer Advanced Edition discovers and analyzes all data anomalies across all data sources. It provides the comprehensive data profiling capabilities needed to support the discovery phase of all data quality and data integration projects and data governance processes.
With Informatica Data Explorer Advanced Edition:
- Business analysts and data stewards can easily profile data themselves and monitor data issues on an ongoing basis using browser-based tools designed especially for them
- IT developers can automatically discover and analyze data using prebuilt rules and a single, unified development environment to reuse data profiling results across projects, boosting productivity and eliminating errors
Unified,
Role-Specific Data Profiling Tools for All Stakeholders
Informatica Data Explorer Advanced Edition makes the business more self-sufficient
and IT more productive. Business analysts and data stewards can analyze
data themselves using a set of simple, browser-based tools designed specifically
for them. IT developers eliminate time-consuming and error-prone hand coding.
Instead they use prebuilt rules to automatically discover and analyze data
and a single, unified development environment to reuse data profiling results
across all data integration projects. And by sharing profiling results,
rules, and reference data, the business and IT can work more efficiently
together to complete projects in days rather than months.
Comprehensive
Data Profiling for All Purposes
Informatica Data Explorer Advanced Edition identifies all data issues.
Powerful multidimensional profiling capabilities find the anomalies and
hidden relationships, regardless of the complexity of the data itself or
of the relationships between data sources. Informatica Data Explorer Advanced
Edition supports the discovery phase of all data quality and data integration
projects, including data migration, data consolidation/synchronization,
data warehousing, and master data management projects.
Open
to All Applications
Informatica Data Explorer Advanced Edition leaves no data out. Connect
to any type of data source—whether on premise, with partners, or in the
cloud—using proven data integration technology. Profile and create scorecards
of data across many different sources using SOA-based data services.
Unified, Role-Specific Data Profiling Tools for All Stakeholders
Browser-Based Profiling Scorecards
- Enable business analysts and data stewards to profile data, analyze results, identify data errors, and measure poor data quality in support of data governance initiatives
- Generate scorecards from profiling rules in a single click
- Analyze scorecards in more detail by simply drilling down on each result
- Share scorecards just by emailing a URL to colleagues
Seamless Integration with Informatica Data Quality
- Move from applying a profiling rule to validating the rule in a single click

Comprehensive Data Profiling for All Purposes
Powerful Multidimensional Profiling
- Automatically discover data anomalies and unique and composite keys
- Infer hidden relationships between tables and identify relational constraints
- Profile data across all dimensions—column, table, and cross-table—for up to billions of rows
- Identify data structures, dependencies, and redundancies
Rapid Discovery and Analysis
- Automatically identify all data issues, regardless of the complexity of the data itself or of the relationships between data sources
- Quickly analyze and validate data issues with reusable reference data and prebuilt industry-specific rules (e.g., for healthcare, finance, and the public sector)
Data Profiling Support for All Projects
- Maintain the data discovery phase of data migration, data consolidation/synchronization, data quality, data warehousing, master data management projects
- Profile third-party data before accepting it as high-quality data
- Invoke profiling rules via SQL or Web services
Open to All Applications
Universal Connectivity to All Data Sources
- Profile any data in any source—within the enterprise, in partners’ systems, or in the cloud—based on proven data integration connectivity
- Access and profile federated data across a range of different data sources on the fly using SOA-based data services, without needing to physically move the data first
