Informatica Research Report Sample

In January 2009, Informatica commissioned Forrester Consulting to examine the total economic impact and potential return on investment (ROI) enterprises may realize by standardizing data integration practices from hand-coding and one off tools to a common platform for data integration and moving data integration away from a project-by-project view to more of an enterprise focus on data integration through the creation of a centralized shared services environment also referred to as an Integration Competency Center (ICC) or Center of Excellence (CoE)

This study illustrates the financial impact and operational efficiency gains an organization may receive through the investment in Informatica’s solutions and an Integration Competency Center. In conducting in-depth interviews with seven existing customers, Forrester found that these companies achieved benefits in both operational and analytical data integration. Specific benefits included improved operational efficiency across the organization, reduced capital costs from consolidation and standardization of hardware and software, improved data visibility and consistency across departments, as well as increased scalability within the data integration environment.
