For the past few
decades, Informatica PowerCenter has been a powerful tool to help organizations
quickly and easily access, manage, and analyze data from disparate systems
along with its scalability allowing users to easily create and manage multiple
data integration jobs. However, In recent years, Informatica has been making
significant investments in cloud technology. As a result, Intelligent Data
Management Cloud (IDMC) has emerged as the leading cloud-based data management
platform. The only platform that offers microservice-based architecture for
your cloud Data Management (Data Catalog / Data Integration / Data Quality/ MDM/ Governance) in a single unified interface.
