Comprehensive Data Integration Features

Key data integration features of the solution, derived from the Informatica Platform, include:

  • Right time data delivery - Data integration latency can be adjusted based on specific requirements, and includes real-time, near real-time and batch mode.
  • Ensured data quality and security - Data quality can be increased and maintained based on data cleansing and name sorting methods, as well as through data profiling to understand data condition, context and quality. Data security and privacy can be greatly strengthened by masking sensitive data to protect confidentiality.
