Why Informatica
Data isand has been from the beginningcreated,
stored, and retrieved by disparate, incompatible

industry is still on mainframes, in languages and data
structures that are archaic and generally unavailable.
The wave of specialty applicationsHR, sales,
accounting, ERP, manufacturinghave all contributed
their share to the chaos. The latest (and perhaps
most
disruptive)
developmentthe
growth
in
outsourcing, in all kinds and flavors, including
business processes, IT management, and geographic,
will add even more complexity to the mix.
