Data Quality

In January of 2006 Informatica acquired Similarity Systems to considerably enhance its data quality and data profile functionality. The Similarity ATHANOR product has been renamed to Informatica Data Quality.

It offers data cleansing, data matching and data quality reporting and monitoring. nformatica Data Quality processes can be added to a PowerCenter job within the PowerCenter Mapping Designer by selecting a data quality building block.

Informatica relies on additional third party vendors to deliver address validation capabilities to Data Quality. These products are licensed separately through Informatica.

There is also PowerCenter Data Cleanse and Match option that was built by Informatica prior to the Similarity acquisition.

It offers data cleansing and parsing and data matching and is fully integrated with PowerCenter to seemlessly use the Data Partitioning and Enterprise Grid capabilities for scalable processing.
