Rapid Access to Disparate Data Across Projects Without Rework

Informatica Data Services provides a single environment for data integration and data federation along-with role-based tools that share common metadata. It allows analysts to access and merge data directly across systems and to collaborate with IT to create sophisticated business rules that leverage the data profiling, complex transformations, data quality, and data masking capabilities of the Informatica platform. With Informatica Data Services, your company benefits from a single scalable architecture for both data integration and data federation, creating a data virtualization layer that hides and handles the complexity of accessing underlying data sources—all while insulating them from change. As a result, analysts get the data they need and trust while IT retains control of the process. IT can deploy data services that can be instantly reused for all applications without rework.

  • Increase business agility by delivering data to analysts up to five times faster
  • Improve efficiency by cutting development and maintenance costs as much as 66 percent
  • Boost productivity and lower risk with powerful, easy-to-use tools, policies, and governance capabilities
