This new stack is also enabling faster and easier delivery of ready-for-use information that business users demand. It does not matter what the source or shape of the data that is coming into this new stack is because it is able to seamlessly ingest structured, unstructured and semi-structured sources. At key industry events throughout the fall, Informatica®, the world’s No. 1 provider of data management solutions, will roll out a series of new and innovative data management capabilities that brings unprecedented analytic power to business users by further enabling this new cloud analytics stack.”
