CONCEPT OF DATA PROFILING

PREVIOUS

Data Profiling




In 2005 Similarity Systems acquired Evoke software to add the Evoke Axio profiling tool to the data quality suite and gain access to a wider customer base in the US and Asia. Similarity was in turn acquired by Informatica in January of 2006.


Informatica renamed Evoke Axio to Information Data Explorer and offers it as a stand alone product or as a companion to PowerCenter.

Data Explorer provides data profiling functions to discover and define the content, structure and quality of data.


It provides data mapping capabilities for source to target mapping that can be accessed from within PowerCenter.


PowerCenter also has a Mapping Generation Option that uses the free Informatica Data Stencil design tool for Microsoft Visio that generates PowerCenter mappings from Visio designs or reverse engineers a PowerCenter mapping into a Visio mapping template.
