Register for the Informatica 9 event.

In today's information economy, data is absolutely critical for any business survival or business revival strategy. Relevant, trustworthy and timely data is the difference between the success and failure of top business imperatives. Yet, becoming a data-driven enterprise has remained an elusive goal for many organizations.

In order to become data-driven enterprises, organizations face three daunting challenges: first, business users often cannot rely on IT alone for the most business-relevant information; second business users frequently do not regard the data to be trustworthy for their purposes; and third business users do not have timely access to the data in the appropriate form. Until now, these formidable challenges have often compromised the value of IT and impeded the most business-critical initiatives.

Informatica 9 uniquely helps organizations overcome these three challenges through business-IT collaboration, pervasive data quality and innovative SOA-based data services. Business-IT collaboration ensures that fit-for-purpose systems deliver the most business-relevant data. Pervasive data quality assures that all stakeholders can trust data for their business purposes. And, open SOA-based data services enable even more types of operational data integration projects to deliver timely data in the appropriate format. With these three breakthrough advances, Informatica 9 enables organizations to become data-driven enterprises by delivering the most business-relevant, trustworthy and timely data.

"Informatica 9 is a comprehensive infrastructure platform with products across six different technology categories that are unified to reduce IT costs and open to leverage data on-premise and in the internet cloud," said Sohaib Abbasi, chairman and CEO, Informatica. "With Informatica 9, customers can gain competitive advantage with the most relevant, trustworthy and timely data as mandated by their top business imperatives."

"Access to timely, relevant, and trusted data is extremely important to Nike's business," said Steve J. Dennis, Director, Integration Competency Center, Nike. "We are very excited about the new and versatile capabilities of Informatica 9 and the continued business value that Nike realizes from Informatica technology."

"Our customers look to gain competitive advantage through timely, accurate and more informed business decisions," said Giuliano Di Vitantonio, Head of Marketing and Alliances, Business Intelligence Solutions, HP. "The combination of HP Business Intelligence Solutions and the Informatica 9 platform provides that competitive edge by improving collaboration between IT and business users, and speeding access to accurate, trusted data through governed data services."

More than 50 leading customers and partners from around the globe support the Informatica 9 announcement.

"With the release of Informatica 9, the company is delivering a solution that is a breakthrough in how organizations can collaboratively work together across business and IT and use data as a core asset. Informatica is bridging these two organizations with collaborative data integration capabilities that reduce the time and cost to deliver data for a range of business needs."
