Bottom Line
Widely considered one of the leaders in the master data management (MDM) market, Informatica offers an end-to-end solution that can run on-premises or in the cloud. This flexibility is a key selling point, in that many enterprises continue to straddle the on-premise/cloud world (often with a hybrid cloud). In any case, the Informatica solution is equipped to stay relevant as a customer’s cloud strategy evolves.
Informatica is a particularly good option for large organizations that have recently undergone mergers and acquisitions. This is because it incorporates many of the data management capabilities of Informatica’s other software, including data integration, data quality, data security and business process management features.
One statistic that illustrates the robust nature of Informatica’s platform: it processes more than 2.5 trillion cloud transactions every month.
