- 10. Performance Case Study Revamping Nadjma Integration Solution from SAP Data Services which takes more than 15 hours to Informatica PowerCenter it takes now 4 hours with average load of 21,000,000 records.
- 11. Quality Data Quality assures data is Completeness: Data not missing or unusable Conformity: Data is stored in a standard format Consistency: Data values don’t give conflicting information Accuracy: Data is incorrect or out of date Duplicates: Data records aren’t repeated Integrity: Data isn’t referenced
- 12. Quality Case Study DWH revamp resulted in need for developing reporting/universes using business Objects XI on top of Teradata Upgrade of BI from Oracle to New Enterprise DWH based on Teradata Review of Current Business Objects Environment Re-design of ETL Methodology, Architecture and Techniques for Optimized Performance

- 17. Versioning and Source Control Folders and Check-in and Check-out Developers can control the changes over source code and can retain the multiple copies of source code and can give them a label (name). Informatica PowerCenter Version Control tracks the code changes. Informatica PowerCenter Version Control retains the accountability for a source code change. In simple words you can identify that which developer has done what.
- 18. Versioning and Source Control Case Study Vodafone: required to handle every month with change in business logic and retains other months with its logic separately Nadjma: +5 developers working in same mappings with the advantage on Informatica PowerCenter Versioning and Source Control feature it allows Secure source code Returns to specific version in case of light changing requirements.
- 19. Security Gives advantage to administrators to control who can do what. Tracks every change happens. With the ability to integrate with Informatica other products like Data Warehouse Advisor, you can monitor Workflows data consumption and loadtime.
- 20. Cost of Servers Informatica PowerCenter with all these features can be installed on decent servers in terms of Specs and Cost. All you need to install PowerCenter Server/Client a machine with Dual Core 2 GHz, 4 GB of Ram and HDD with 10 GB available space.
- 21. Cost of Servers Case Study Loading of +1,000,000 records in less than 4 minutes in machine with 6 GB of Ram and Core i3 processor 2.53 GHz
