Data Integration for the On-demand World
Pioneering On-demand Data Integration
The Challenge
Recent business trends of Business Process Outsourcing (BPO), Information Technology Outsourcing (ITO), and Software as a Service (SaaS) are changing how companies and government organizations of all sizes invest in technology to automate critical business processes. These on-demand services offer tremendous benefits, including unprecedented time-to-value, reduced IT management costs, flexibility, and scalability.
They also lead to more data fragmentation. When organizations outsource business functions to an outside service provider, critical data ends up residing both inside and outside corporate firewalls.
To get a holistic, consistent, and accurate picture of their strategic data assets, organizations need to integrate the data between their outsourced applications and their on-premise systems, such as ERP applications and databases. They need a cross-enterprise data integration solution that allows them to integrate data across the Internet using Web services standards.
The Solution
Informatica is meeting this need with a set of innovative on-demand data integration offerings called Informatica On Demand.
Informatica On Demand allows organizations to integrate data in their SaaS and BPO applications, seamlessly and securely across the Internet, with data in their on-premise applications and systems.

“Organizations must be able to integrate data residing beyond their enterprise, including their outsourced operations, to retain access and visibility. The requirement for cross-enterprise data integration, however, is much more complicated than just importing flat files from outsourcing providers—it requires a managed approach for data integration. Informatica’s strategy for on-demand data integration comes at a critical juncture for business, and demonstrates a critical method for integrating data from inside and outside of the enterprise. Building on the company’s PowerCenter enterprise data integration platform, which already operates in a secure and distributed manner, Informatica is driving integration technology to the next level.”
