With continuous change increasingly driving businesses to become more agile, time is money and having access to critical business information at the right time is key to maintaining competitive advantage. For example, in the financial industry, enabling improved customer satisfaction through scalable self-service online banking portals is critical for competitive differentiation. However, at the heart of this requirement is the need for a consistent and accurate view of customer and account information across all financial products, in real-time. To support such dynamic environments, enterprises are increasingly pressurizing IT to deliver holistic and accurate business critical information at the speed of the business, be it batch, near real-time or real-time. Technologies such as EAI and EII frequently used as the underpinnings of an SOA, have fallen short of providing such flexibility in data latency and volumes.
In this session we will discuss data services, a compelling approach to ‘the data problem’. It flexibly incorporates real-time, change and batch-oriented access, cleansing, transformation, and delivery methods (including web services) to enable the integration and delivery of business critical information, across the enterprise and beyond corporate firewalls. Data services can drive compelling business benefits, such as competitive advantage, improved customer service, lowered risk and cost-effective project implementations, leading to true business agility. Data services lower the complexity of enterprise integration infrastructures by enabling a standards-based reusable “data abstraction layer” that separates the logical view of the data from the physical details of how and where it is stored and organized across heterogeneous systems. Our speakers include some of the best thought-leaders on right-time data integration, SOA and data services.
What You’ll Learn:
- To help identify data related issues and their impact on realizing business agility in the enterprise
- To understand the need and benefits of consistent, accurate and timely information
- How Informatica's scalable and flexible right-time data integration technology using data services delivers success in the real world
