Why should you care?

» As an Informatica Powercenter user, you need to add Reference Data Management, Master Data management and Hierarchy Management capabilities to your existing Data Integration / Quality Platform.

As with many large organizations, you have standardized Data Integration on Informatica. Informatica has solved key issues for accessing, discovering, cleansing, integrating, and delivering your data.

To be efficient, your Data Integration platform deals with an increasing number of shared data such as reference tables, master data, hierarchies, lookup tables, conversion tables and rejected data. Those reference data are critical to ensure that data integration relies on one version of the truth. 

But do your end users have a real control on reference data? Are you able to empower business users, data stewards or IT users to apply governance on those shared data?

Why do you need a Data Governance tool as well as your Informatica Platform?

Reference data are usually managed in custom databases or spreadsheets. This can lead to operational errors in your data integration platform. Here are some examples:

» Powercenter does a lookup into a geography list that needs to be maintained and approved by both sales and finance departments
» When migrating data from system A to system B, business users need to define conversions of values with complex approval workflow
» Before populating a Data Warehouse, sales users need to review product hierarchy and make changes
» Data Stewards need a web UI to review rejected records from Data Quality and apply manual correction

For all those reference data, you need to provide end-users with one secure and unified tool.

Ideally, all users should have access to a unique solution in order to apply the same level of governance to all reference data:

» Define data models, from simple tables to complex hierarchies
» Access a user-friendly Web tool for table and hierarchy management (CRUD, search...)
» Collaborate on change and approval workflows
» Manage versions, roles and rights
