By VARINDIA - 2015-02-25

Capgemini has announced that Informatica is now part of the Business Data Lake ecosystem developed by Capgemini and Pivotal. Customers worldwide will now be able to leverage Informatica’s data integration software, in addition to Pivotal’s advanced big data, analytics and application software, and Capgemini’s industry and implementation expertise. Informatica will deliver certified technologies for Data Integration, Data Quality and Master Data Management (MDM) to help enterprises distill raw data into actionable insights. Steve Jones, Global VP of Big Data, Capgemini, said, “The Business Data Lake is disrupting the market and redefining the way the enterprise approaches its business information. With Informatica’s certification of its technology on the Pivotal Big Data Suite, this enables Pivotal, Informatica and Capgemini to answer some of the biggest questions about information today - how can companies take advantage of the information explosion and still remain in control? How can you deliver next-generation analytics but have the assurance that the information being used is proven? Rather like a super search engine ‘in a box’, this solution will help companies transform into truly Data Driven Enterprises, with a business-centric view across all structured and unstructured data.” “To successfully implement a Business Data Lake, companies need to operationalize the entire data pipeline that distills raw data into high-quality information,” said Amit Walia, Senior Vice-President & General Manager, Data Integration and Data Security, Informatica. “We are excited to be part of the Capgemini and Pivotal Business Data Lake Ecosystem. Informatica accelerates and simplifies the data integration and data governance process, so the business has rapid access to actionable insights.” The Business Data Lake which was originally developed by Capgemini and Pivotal in December 2013 is designed to provide a unified approach to information management, reporting and integration. The inclusion of Informatica will add several new capabilities to the Big and Fast Data architecture. This widened ecosystem will help customers reduce implementation time, risk and complexity and also deliver real-time predictive analytics, business agility and cost reduction. It will enable enterprises to leverage open-source technology, industry-leading software, and open Cloud-based deployments for both on-premise and public and private cloud environments.
