Chosen in preference to solutions from IBM and Oracle, the Informatica MDM multidomain and cross-domain solution is anticipated to help AutoTrader.com achieve a “multimillion-dollar increase in advertising revenues in the years to come”.

Atlanta-based AutoTrader.com, created in 1997, is the Internet’s ultimate automotive marketplace and consumer information website. AutoTrader.com aggregates in a single location millions of new cars, used cars and certified pre-owned cars from thousands of auto dealers and private sellers and is a leading online resource for auto dealers, individuals and manufacturers to advertise and market their vehicles to in-market shoppers.

Challenges

  • Grow advertising sales revenues
  • Reduce the cost of managing dealer and manufacturer relationships
  • Improve data governance
The business case for Informatica MDM was based on two key criteria: driving increased advertising revenue and cost avoidance. We measure the impact of Informatica MDM on both of these in multiple millions of dollars.
