Access and Deliver Mission-Critical Data Quickly, Easily, and Cost-Effectively

Your IT team is handling more data, in more formats, from more partners and systems than ever before. This enterprise data is siloed in dozens of different locations. Finding the skills to access it all is a real challenge.

Informatica PowerExchange can help.

With the PowerExchange family of data access products, you can access all sources of enterprise data without having to develop custom data access programs.

By being able to access mission-critical operational data wherever it may be stored and deliver it throughout the enterprise, wherever and whenever it’s needed, your IT organization can maximize its limited resources and the business value of its data.

Reduce Costs with Universal Access
Most IT organizations need to access data scattered across transactional databases, enterprise applications, and Web services. This data is stored on systems as diverse as mainframes, midrange machines, commodity servers, and desktop environments.

With PowerExchange and the rest of the Informatica platform, you can access a broad range of complex formats without having to rely on scarce and costly programming skills for each. Accessing data is as simple as pointing to it on a menu. No hand coding is required, which dramatically lowers the cost of delivering data.

Manage Change with Flexible Access
Is your IT organization creating Web services in a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)services-oriented architecture, or implementing event-driven integration? Do you need to synchronize multiple data sources or deliver data in real time?

PowerExchange supports your current and future data integration requirements. Point-and-click productivity means your IT organization can adapt to new technologies without extensive training. The same skills apply across all products in the PowerExchange family. Because each PowerExchange product automatically captures relevant metadata and shares it with the rest of the Informatica data integration platform, proposed changes can be assessed and developed rapidly and implemented with confidence, which helps your IT organization satisfy even the most stringent data governance policies.

Increase Agility with Right-Time Access
Are your batch windows growing smaller? Do you need access to fresher data?

As your business needs evolve, PowerExchange’s patented change data capture (CDC) technology can help. The PowerExchange CDC Option distills database updates from unchanged background data and delivers them to multiple targets without intermediate queues or staging tables. You can use other Informatica products to cleanse and enrich this data before sending it to downstream processes in real time.
