Maximize Operational Uptime

Posted in Data Integration, Informatica World, Solutions and Products by Ash Parikh |

Maximizing operational uptime or minimizing operational downtime, whichever way you look at it, presents a daunting challenge and an exacting need for a business and its supporting IT infrastructure. Business drivers such as improving customer service with say Straight Through Processing or increasing operational efficiency by say supporting 24/7 operations are placing great pressure on IT organizations looking to support the business' goals for increased agility.

In yet another customer feature, this session put the technologist directly in contact with a real customer to understand how Informatica's real-time data integration capabilities supported a business model that could not tolerate any operational downtime. The session opened with a compelling video showcasing the customer's business background, the integration challenges and the benefits of the Informatica solution, in particular Change Data Capture.

The session had some very well laid-out use cases and before and after scenarios showcasing how Informatica's right-time data integration technologies provided the customer with a structured, repeatable, predictable design, development and operational process. As expected, the audience really relished the opportunity to hear other customers speak to common integration challenges and their solutions. This fact seemed to be reflected yet again in the involved Q&A session that followed the presentation.
