01
Improve data literacy
Give business and technical users shared definitions, context, ownership, and visibility into trusted data assets.
Informatica Cloud Data Governance and Catalog
Governance that proves its value in one use case—not one long program.
Most governance programs stall because they try to boil the ocean before showing anyone a result. PDI stands up Informatica Cloud Data Governance and Catalog around a single prioritized business use case, with a fixed price and a first-year rollout plan you can actually fund.
Focused scope. Predictable pricing. Clear path from first value to enterprise adoption.

Is this you?
Three situations where an MVP beats a program.
If any of these describe your governance effort today, a focused first use case will move you further than another planning cycle.
Governance has been discussed for months without a working deliverable
Stakeholders agree it matters, but there is no configured environment, no owned asset and nothing a sponsor can point to as evidence of progress.
You have Informatica CDGC but adoption has stalled
The platform is licensed and partially configured, yet business users are not finding, trusting or using the catalog in their day-to-day work.
An AI or analytics initiative needs a governed foundation
The programme depends on documented ownership, shared definitions and traceable lineage that do not exist in a usable form yet.
Start small. Prove value. Scale with confidence.
Turn governance from a concept into a working business capability.
The MVP establishes a usable foundation around one prioritized business use case. Your team receives the operating guidance, configured platform capabilities, documentation, and roadmap needed to continue the journey.
02
Increase trusted access
Help the right users discover and understand the right data while aligning access with governance expectations.
03
Demonstrate first value
Implement a focused, high-impact use case that creates visible outcomes and supports broader adoption.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about the MVP.
Is Informatica licensing included in the $30,000 fee?
No. The price covers PDI professional services for the defined MVP. Informatica subscriptions and other third-party costs are separate unless explicitly included in the final commercial agreement.
Is this a complete enterprise-wide governance implementation?
No. It is a deliberately focused MVP centered on one prioritized business use case, an initial set of assets, and the foundational operating model required to demonstrate value and prepare for expansion.
What does annual maintenance cover?
The $20,000 annual maintenance offer provides ongoing support, optimization, and governance-adoption guidance within the support boundaries defined in the agreement.
Can additional data domains or sources be added?
Yes. Additional domains, integrations, assets, custom workflows, or advanced requirements can be planned as a subsequent phase or handled through a change order.
Solution shape
Catalog the sources that matter. Govern them where people work.
The MVP connects an agreed set of sources to Informatica Cloud Data Governance and Catalog, applies ownership and definitions to the assets behind one business use case, and makes them discoverable to the users who need them.
01Agreed sourcesAn initial set of systems and assets selected with you during discovery—scoped to the prioritized use case rather than the whole estate.
02Informatica CDGCCatalog and governance configured for the agreed scope: metadata, business glossary, ownership, stewardship workflows and role-based access.
03Governed business useBusiness and technical users discover, understand and trust the assets behind the MVP use case, with documented owners and definitions.
Source systems, connectivity method and the asset inventory are confirmed during discovery and technical design. Informatica licensing and infrastructure are provided by the customer.
Scope boundaries
Clear inclusions, responsibilities and exclusions.
The same discipline PDI applies to delivery, applied to the commercial scope—so there are no surprises at acceptance.

Implementation timeline
Four-week implementation after prerequisites are complete.
The four-week implementation begins after the agreed environment, access, data-source, stakeholder, and decision prerequisites are in place. This keeps the delivery window focused and predictable.
Week 1
Mobilize & configure
Confirm the prioritized use case, validate readiness, finalize the implementation plan, and begin CDGC configuration.
Week 2
Catalog & govern
Onboard agreed assets, establish the domain structure, connect business definitions, and configure ownership and access.
Week 3
Activate quality & workflows
Configure the agreed data-quality rules, governance workflows, profiling, lineage validation, and stakeholder review.
Week 4
Validate & enable
Complete acceptance, knowledge transfer, documentation, support transition, and the first-year rollout roadmap.
Prerequisites: confirmed stakeholders and decision-makers, provisioned CDGC licensing and environment access, ready source connections, approved glossary and domain inputs, agreed in-scope assets and rules, and timely acceptance decisions. Material changes to the agreed use case or asset scope require schedule and commercial review.
For Salesforce account teams
Data foundation blocking your next product sale? Take it off the critical path.
You have a Data Cloud, Agentforce or Revenue Cloud opportunity that cannot move because the customer's Account and Contact data will not support it. The usual fix—an open-ended MDM scoping exercise—puts a six-figure services decision in front of your deal and stalls both. This package is built to avoid that.
Procurement-light by design
A published fixed price and a defined scope is approvable at a level that does not require a committee—so the data work does not become the gate your Salesforce deal waits behind.
Bounded scope, in writing
Inclusions, customer responsibilities and exclusions are published on this page. Your customer sees where the engagement ends before they sign, which is what keeps a services attach from turning into a renegotiation.
Salesforce stays the system of engagement
Governed records are written back into the customer's org. PDI is not displacing Salesforce in the account—the engagement makes the platform the customer already bought work harder.
You keep the relationship
PDI delivers behind your account team. You own the customer conversation and the close; PDI carries the delivery risk on the data foundation.
