From PowerCenter to IDMC: Built for today's data challenges
Uplevel PowerCenter functionality
Run your existing PowerCenter workflows seamlessly while gaining modern, cloud-native features in IDMC.
Handle data complexity at scale
Process complex streaming data, unstructured content and API integrations that PowerCenter can’t support.
Leverage AI-powered automation
Let CLAIRE AI automate tasks that require coding and manual configuration in PowerCenter.
Every business success story starts with a strong foundation.
For decades, enterprises have trusted PowerCenter as the foundation for simplifying complex ETL processes and bringing order to data chaos.
Even the strongest data foundations need to adapt to the demands of AI.
But is your data infrastructure ready for AI?
PowerCenter, though reliable, was built for an on-premises world, making it increasingly difficult to scale seamlessly and adapt to the demands of AI, machine learning and multi-cloud environments.
Meanwhile, rising costs for maintaining servers, licenses and energy continue to escalate.
These challenges show the need for strategic modernization to unlock your data's potential while retaining the trust that PowerCenter provides.
The Informatica PowerCenter Modernization program bridges the gap between legacy systems and the future, introducing PowerCenter Cloud Edition, a solution that blends the reliability of your on-premises environment with the scalability of the cloud, making your modernization journey seamless and efficient.
You begin by connecting PowerCenter to the Informatica Intelligent Data Management Cloud or IDMC by installing a secure agent to cloudify your PowerCenter domain, enabling you to run existing PowerCenter workloads seamlessly for data integration.
Next, the PC to CDI modernization service lets you convert PowerCenter assets leveraging your own resources with flexible phase timelines, while cloud data validation ensures accuracy with automated testing, reducing manual effort and speeding up validation.
When you modernize to IDMC, teams throughout your organization can leverage any cloud native data management service, from data integration to data governance and catalogue, to power AI initiatives and unlock new business opportunities.
IDMC transforms data management into a unified, scalable and cloud native powerhouse that goes beyond regular ETL operations with consumption based predictable pricing.
You pay only for what your organization uses, with the flexibility to onboard new data management use cases.
By leveraging trusted PowerCenter assets and embracing IDMC, your business is future ready, AI powered and positioned to thrive in a cloud.
First world modernization is no longer optional.
Start moving your PowerCenter workloads to the AI powered intelligent data management cloud today.

Frequently asked questions
You likely can't download PowerCenter because it's a paid commercial tool that requires a valid license and customer access, not a public download. Furthermore, Informatica is actively pivoting toward its modern, cloud-native platform, the Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC).
For streamlined data management, integration and a free trial option, it's highly recommended to explore the features and benefits of IDMC instead of the on-premises PowerCenter.

PowerCenter can be modernized to IDMC (Informatica’s Intelligent Data Management Cloud). Informatica’s Cloud Data Integration (CDI) service on IDMC is the next step, bringing the familiar PowerCenter design experience but powered by a cloud-native, AI-driven platform.

Move from ETL pipelines running on fixed servers to elastic, intelligent data integration running on IDMC with auto-scaling, serverless execution, governance, data quality, lineage and AI copilots built in. In short, PowerCenter was built for ETL in data warehouses. CDI on IDMC extends that DNA to an AI-ready, cloud-native data management layer—centralized, governed, scalable and future-proof.
Migration timelines vary based on scope, but most customers complete Phase 1 (reuse on cloud) in weeks, not months.
With CDI-PC on IDMC, you don’t rebuild mappings. You lift, import, validate and run PowerCenter workflows as-is using a secure agent. That means initial cloud-readiness can be achieved in four to eight weeks for most customers.
From there, modernization at scale (optimizing, refactoring, adding cloud-native capabilities) is a phased journey, done at your own pace without disruption to existing workloads.
The key advantage is that you don’t wait for full modernization to see value, you start running on cloud almost immediately, th, and then evolve intelligently using IDMC capabilities over time. Check out PowerCenter Modernization Blueprint.
Informatica has announced the end of support for PowerCenter version 10.5. Based on customer demand to migrate to the cloud, Informatica has provided a robust cloud modernization path for PowerCenter users. See here for more information on the cloud modernization path from PowerCenter to PowerCenter Cloud Edition or contact icare@informatica.com.
PowerCenter 10.5.x will reach end of support on 31 March, 2026. For more details see the Informatica Product Lifecycle Guide.
