06/01/2004
Informatica (NASDAQ: INFA), the provider of data integration software, announced a license agreement with the Center for Agribusiness Excellence (CAE) at Tarleton State University, bringing the company’s customer base to 2,000 customers. The CAE at Tarleton State, a member of the Texas A&M University System, will use Informatica’s enterprise data integration software to consolidate data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Risk Management Agency to support national crop-insurance analysis.
Informatica supplied the following details:
CAE’s manual data integration process currently takes eight days, during which approximately 10 gigabytes of data are loaded, verified, cleansed and integrated into a data warehouse. Using Informatica PowerCenter, CAE plans to reduce that timeframe to three days, while greatly reducing the chance for error.
