Accelerating Informatica with Syncsort DMExpress:
Fast, Simple, Cost-effective

Every year Informatica users spend millions of dollars in complex and time-consuming tuning, hand-coding, and transformations pushed down to the database, in an effort to maintain the performance SLAs required by the business. Data Integration Acceleration from Syncsort saves you money, dramatically accelerates performance, requires absolutely no tuning, all while utilizing less CPU and leveraging your existing Informatica infrastructure.

A recent research study conducted by the BeyeNETWORK reports that 78% of Informatica users say their data integration (DI) tools impede their ability to achieve strategic business objectives.

• 74% strongly agreed/agreed that their DI tools require significant involvement/tuning to achieve suitable performance.
• Only 54% report transformations taking place in their ETL tool.
• 44% said they need to hand code and 43% need to push processing down to the database due to their current DI tools’ performance problems.

The most striking finding of the study is that Informatica customers are more likely than others to face challenges with their DI tools. (To see a comparison of Informatica users vs. non-Informatica users, download the BeyeNETWORK report, “Informatica Users Challenged by Escalating Costs, Inability to Support Strategic Business Objectives.”)

Many organizations have come to accept these shortcomings as a part of daily operations. However, with consequences so severe -- exponential IT costs, longer development cycles, and failure to meet business needs – these issues cannot be ignored.

Informatica users who want to increase performance and realize additional business value from their current Informatica investments are turning to Data Integration Acceleration with Syncsort DMExpress. DMExpress is the only DI tool specifically engineered to “snap in” to your current Informatica environment to accelerate data integration so you can:

• Achieve the performance you need without massive investments
• Facilitate ongoing maintenance and governance
• Respond faster to new demands for information
• Effectively reduce the total cost of owning and maintaining your DI environment
• Transform decision making

DMExpress is fully compatible with Informatica PowerCenter through its metadata interchange integration layer, allowing you to easily import jobs to accelerate deployment and maintain compliance across the system. And it is simple to deploy – taking only weeks (not months).

“We turned to Syncsort because there was so much data, and we just needed the performance,” Bruce Crawford, Lead Systems Engineer for project at the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
