Enhance Your Data Profiling and Discovery

Informatica Data Explorer empowers business analysts and data stewards to easily profile data and monitor data issues on an ongoing basis with browser-based tools designed especially for them. It allows IT developers to rapidly discover and analyze data using prebuilt rules and a single, unified development environment to reuse data profiling results across projects, boosting productivity and eliminating errors.

  • Discover and analyze all data anomalies across all data sources and find hidden data problems that put projects at risk
  • Eliminate the tedious, error-prone process of manually profiling complex data and metadata
  • Identify data quality problems before they cost your company customers and a competitive advantage

Informatica Data Explorer Key Features

Powerful Multidimensional Profiling

  • Finds hidden relationships among data, regardless of its complexity
  • Discovers data anomalies, unique and composite keys, and relationships among tables and constraints

Rapid Discovery and Analysis

  • Analyzes and validates data issues with reusable reference data and prebuilt industry-specific rules
  • Accelerates cycles of analysis-implementation-validation by viewing and profiling actual data, specifying cleansing rules by example, and rapidly viewing resulting data to validate rules

Data Profiling Support for All Projects

  • Maintains the discovery phase of data migration, data consolidation/synchronization, data quality, data warehousing, and master data management projects
  • Accurately detects and pinpoints data quality issues, facilitating data governance by providing tangible proof points for building the business case

Proactive Data Quality Assurance

  • Dynamically generates and compares data profiles with comparative profiling analysis
  • Ensures accuracy of mapping logic as data flows through the mapping pipeline

Universal Connectivity to All Data Sources

  • Profiles any data in any source—within the enterprise, in partners’ systems, or in the cloud—based on proven data integration connectivity
  • Accesses and profiles federated data across a range of different data sources on the fly using SOA-based data services, without the need to physically move the data first
