PowerExchange for Technology Standards

Simplify access to web services and other industry standards

PowerExchange provides easy, bi-directional access to industry-wide technology standards such as email, LDAP, and web services. Data hidden in these hard-to-use formats can now be accessed and brought into PowerCenter for transformation, cleansing by Informatica Data Quality, or integration with any of the data sources PowerExchange supports.

Benefits

Improve organizational agility
Although the concept of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) is technology-neutral, many SOAs are built with web services. Organizations are developing and deploying services of all types as the fundamental building blocks of their enterprise architectures, and if the benefits of an SOA are to be gained it is critical to reuse those services as often as possible. PowerExchange for Web Services supports just that type of reuse; by enabling PowerCenter to interact with deployed web services, PowerExchange promotes reuse and increases agility.

Reduce development cost
Most technology standards have been developed for power and flexibility, not for ease-of-use. PowerExchange eliminates the cost of developing and maintaining the special skills needed to interface with these standards, permitting more widespread use. Further, by using PowerCenter, this data is delivered to a standard infrastructure, ready for deployment to enterprise applications, messaging systems, databases, or wherever it is needed-while keeping costs low.

"We're getting business out the door faster and more accurately with the improvements we have implemented using Informatica PowerCenter and PowerExchange for Web Services. Others within the organization have seen the success we've achieved and are asking us how they can apply the Web services we've developed."
