Gain a Competitive Edge with SaaS-Based Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud for Microsoft Intelligent Data Platform
Organizations today strive to be data-led and modernize to become intelligent data enterprises. They understand that data, analytics and AI are key building blocks to success. However, managing complex data silos and sources, systems and types is a critical roadblock they must overcome in their journey to become an intelligent data enterprise, and this complexity — built over long periods of time — permeates the enterprise. Companies that overcome this challenge can unlock the hidden value in their data, and data-driven businesses can become more customer-centric by leveraging AI-powered analytics.
How can companies make the shift from data source to data insight so they can innovate and gain a competitive edge?

Deliver Intelligent Data and Analytics With a Modern Cloud Data Architecture
Informatica has extensive expertise in helping customers build modern data management platforms with IDMC. We have learned that there are three simple, but necessary, principles in building an effective cloud-native modern data architecture. It must be able to:
- Solve the business problem – Start with the business value you are trying to achieve. Think about why you are building or enhancing your data architecture.
- Scale on demand – Elasticity is an important benefit of cloud, allowing your data architecture to scale based on business demand.
- Adapt to business needs – A modern architecture should be flexible. It must be able to ingest data, ensure quality and govern data while keeping it accessible no matter what its volume or variety.
Informatica’s IDMC for Microsoft’s Intelligent Data Platform is built on these core principles of modern data architecture. Informatica addresses critical data management challenges facing Azure customers, including the ability to:
