Informatica Cozies Up for Cloud Winter 2012

Data integration software maker revealed Informatica Cloud Winter 2012, the latest version of its offering which will become generally available in 2012. It features several significant improvements, notably extended support and several additions to the solution.

Cloud Winter 2012 features integration enhancements, including speedier outbound messaging and bulk API support for Salesforce CRM and Force.com. In addition, the Informatica Cloud Rapid Connectivity Framework now allows the company’s INFORM partners to connect their offerings with Informatica’s platform. There are currently 40 such templates available to users.

With its Informatica Cloud Winter 2012 release, Informatica is empowering customers and partners to create and share their own custom connectivity in addition to leveraging pre-built connectors from Informatica and its partners. This crowd-sourcing will likely help to open new markets for cloud data integration and Informatica, and further cement Informatica Cloud’s position as a universal and flexible cloud data integration solution.

The new feature combined with the latest release makes for Informatica Data Quality functionality, which automatically verifies and corrects email and postal addresses, in addition to cross-referencing phone numbers with the U.S. National Do Not Call Registry.

On top of these changes, better data replication change detection, improved log messages and more attractive technical support were also added.

Informatica had another launch just earlier this month. The company announced HPraser, the first data parsing for Hadoop.  The software supplements an organization’s Hadoop distribution (Informatica says HPraser supports all the major ones) by structuring the unstructured data that goes in the system to reduce the workload. There is a free community edition available, as well as several commercial ones.

Before that, Informatica revealed it landed a big contract with Texas’s Austin Bank, which uses the Informatica PowerCenter Advanced Edition to manage the internal data coming in from 60+ sources.
