Informatica Cloud Data Integration-Free and Cloud Data Integration-PayGo
Simple, Fast, Smart Data Integration for Virtually Everyone, Everywhere
Free, Fast, Frictionless Data Integration from the Inventor of ETL
Businesses don’t have time to wait for days or weeks to get access to much needed data. IT is overwhelmed with the sheer volume of data access requests on top of the already existing myriads of data pipelines. Both parties are seeking to reduce dependency on the central IT with a simple, fast, no-code, no-setup data integration tool for tech-savvy business users — including data analysts, analytics engineers, data scientists and business-focused data engineers — to get immediate access to data and insights. They also often want to start small, with a few use cases, preferably at an affordable price. And the IT integration team wants to make sure they can provide that without compromising security or compliance.
Ideally, you would spend as little time as possible setting up the data mapping and be able to automate the processing of data on a desired schedule. To support that, your data integration tool should be able to automate extraction, transformation and loading of virtually any data, in any format, from any system, at any volume and velocity without compromising the security and reliability of the data.
Informatica Cloud Data Integration-Free (CDI-Free) and Cloud Data Integration-PayGo (CDI-PayGo) help you access and transform data from multiple sources with a no-code, intuitive and easy-to-use UI.
Follow these simple steps to get started: register (with no credit card information required), connect your source, select your target, create the data mapping and then choose to run or schedule.
Key Features
Automates Your Data Pipeline with Proven Integration Techniques
You can quickly operationalize your new data pipeline and reduce integration issues by automating the process. CDI-Free and CDI-PayGo also help find task failures and resolves them faster. The tools also support security protocols, authentication and authorization mechanisms. Use these tools to join from different sources and move, validate and standardize data quickly and securely. CDI-PayGo additionally offers large scale data processing, compliance protection and award-winning customer support. Use the estimation tool to predict the future usage and upgrade accordingly.

Provides a Simple Wizard-Driven Experience
Informatica CDI-Free and CDI-PayGo are designed as self-service data integration tools. Get started without a credit card with CDI-Free and let the AI-powered wizard guide you through the simple drag-and-drop process of adding sources, targets and transformation tasks and then creating a mapping. There is no software to install. The setup process requires zero overhead, zero DevOps and zero coding. In-product contextual videos help users to navigate through the queries they might have while using the tool.
Offers Robust Out-of-the-Box Connectivity to 40+ Applications and All Major Cloud Data Warehouses
Your organization runs on a unique set of applications that act as sources for different data types and formats. With CDI-Free and CDI-PayGo, you get access to a wide range of plug-and-play connectors. This makes it easy for you to simply connect to any application of your choice and access the data. It also enables you to load the transformed data, regardless of where it resides, into the cloud data warehouse of your choice — including Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, Azure Synapse, Databricks DeltaLake and Google BigQuery.
Supports Data Transformations in both ELT and ETL Mode
Depending on the use case, you might need to modify your data to fit to your requirements. CDI-Free and CDI-PayGo provide a codeless, point-and-click mapping interface to implement the transformation. You can choose from a wide range of pre-built transformation tasks and templates for fast and consistent results. If you are running an ELT data pipeline, you have a simple drop-down option in GUI for pushdown with no need to learn proprietary commands.
Provides Reusable, Auto-Generated Mappings and Templates
A codeless point-and-click interface enables you to design and run a data mapping. This establishes the relationship between the different data models, decides how the data flows and ensures it reaches the targets in the desired way. You don’t need to be an expert to use it. When you create an asset, such as a mapping, mapping task or taskflow, you can either start from scratch or use a template. The tool offers a variety of data manipulation templates to jump-start your project.
